Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A seismogram from a recent earthquake shows strong vertical motion but weak horizontal motion. Discuss the potential implications for structures designed based solely on horizontal component data.

💡 Hint: Analyze the consequences of neglecting one component.

Question 2

Suppose you have a building that performed poorly during an earthquake as per the seismograms analyzed. Describe how you would address this for future designs based on the seismogram components.

💡 Hint: Consider designs that integrate all three directions of movement.
