Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a hypothetical town built on loose, saturated sand near a fault line. Describe the steps that structural engineers would take to assess liquefaction risk in this area.

💡 Hint: Think about both physical investigations and analytical data.

Question 2

A building in a liquefied area experienced significant lateral displacement. Discuss potential failures in structural design that might have contributed to the facility's damage.

💡 Hint: Consider what engineers can evaluate before construction to improve resilience.
