Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a modal analysis of a 15-story building with irregular shape. What factors must be included to accurately calculate the spectral acceleration, and why?
💡 Hint: Recall the variables that influence how buildings sway.
Question 2
How would using a higher spectral acceleration value change the design requirements for a building in a high seismic zone compared to a low seismic zone?
💡 Hint: Think about how structural codes adjust for varying risk levels.
