Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given soil type and damping ratio variations, how would you modify the design response spectrum for a building expecting to withstand high seismic forces?

💡 Hint: Relate the foundational soil analysis with spectral parameters.

Question 2

Analyze how a structure designed with a high damping ratio would compare to one with a standard ratio in terms of spectral acceleration calculations.

💡 Hint: Consider how damping behaves in dynamic systems.
