Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A seismic test resulted in a shear modulus of 120 GPa and a density of 3000 kg/m³. Calculate the shear wave velocity and discuss its implications for earthquake engineering.
💡 Hint: Convert units as needed and think about how this information informs building design.
Question 2
In a heterogeneous geological environment, S-waves exhibit varying velocities due to sediment types. Discuss how this affects wave propagation and structural risks.
💡 Hint: Think about how different soil types might alter wave behavior.
