Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a small building that incorporates both a viscous damper and a tuned mass damper. Explain how each device contributes to the overall earthquake resistance of the structure.
💡 Hint: Think about how each device reacts differently to forces.
Question 2
Analyze a failed building in an earthquake and propose a hypothetical damping device system that could have prevented damage. What types would you use and why?
💡 Hint: Consider both energy absorption and permanence of deformation in your design.
