Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a site with soft soil, predict the differences in spectral acceleration findings when using equivalent-linear and nonlinear methods. Discuss potential reasons for these differences.

💡 Hint: Consider how soft soil behavior changes under loading.

Question 2

Design a brief outline for a ground response analysis report that includes the essential components, findings, and recommendations for a hospital located in an earthquake-prone area.

💡 Hint: Think about what information is crucial for safety.
