Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a scenario with a partially submerged thrust fault at a depth of 1 km and another at 5 km. Analyze how PGAs would differ between these two scenarios when subjected to the same earthquake forces.
💡 Hint: Evaluate the energy transformation and dissipation over distance.
Question 2
If you were assessing a location with high PGAs from both a thrust fault and a significant directivity effect, what structural strategies would you propose?
💡 Hint: Think about how structures can adapt to shaking.
