Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a seismogram shows PGA of 1.0g, PGV of 20 cm/s, and PGD of 5 cm, assess the potential structural integrity risks for a building designed to withstand 0.6g.

💡 Hint: Compare the design specifications with the measured values.

Question 2

A new building site records PGV exceeding 30 cm/s on multiple occasions. Discuss possible engineering adjustments or actions to be taken.

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of ground motion on material fatigue.
