Question 1

What is the formula for calculating the minimum separation gap?

  • 0.005 × height
  • 0.01 × height
  • height × 2

💡 Hint: Remember the importance of height in this calculation.

Question 2

True or False: A separation gap is only needed between buildings of the same height.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider why buildings of different dynamics might collide.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Assess a city block where three buildings have different heights: 12, 18, and 25 meters. How would you determine the appropriate separation gaps considering their dynamic responses?

💡 Hint: Use the gap formula for each building and compare their calculated separations.

Question 2

Critically analyze a scenario where two buildings built with inadequate separation gaps lead to structural failure during an earthquake. What lessons can be drawn from this case?

💡 Hint: Reflect on real-world examples of structural failures that resulted from improper planning.
