Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a scenario where a building's design utilizes spectral acceleration without considering inelastic behavior. What could be the potential risks?

💡 Hint: Consider how forces exerted during an earthquake might differ from early theoretical expectations.

Question 2

Propose a detailed plan for conducting a site-specific seismic analysis for a new hospital. What steps should be included?

💡 Hint: Think about why a one-size-fits-all approach does not work for complex structures.
