Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze two fictional earthquakes of the same magnitude but different intensities in two cities. How would engineers respond differently in each city based on the intensity?

💡 Hint: Consider local building practices and historical impact.

Question 2

Given a scenario where a new building is designed in a seismic zone, how would you determine the design standards necessary based on both magnitude and intensity?

💡 Hint: Connect coding standards to local seismic data.
