Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A geotechnical report indicates a site with a soft clay layer overlying a rock formation. Describe how this configuration might affect the building's seismic response, and suggest mitigation measures.
💡 Hint: Think about how softer layers can change wave characteristics.
Question 2
Given a site-specific response spectrum derived from a geotechnical investigation, explain how engineers might adjust their design approach based on the data.
💡 Hint: Consider how designs change when specific data informs their choices.
