Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
An engineer has a building with a response spectrum showing a PGA of 0.24g. How should this affect their design decisions for the building's structural elements?
💡 Hint: Think about how much force your building must endure during an earthquake.
Question 2
Discuss how an increase in PGA might change the design approach for varying types of structures, such as bridges versus high-rise buildings.
💡 Hint: Consider the different functions and designs of these structures with respect to movement.
