Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a structure designed only using PGA. How might this approach lead to deficiencies in a multi-story building subjected to varied frequencies during an earthquake?

💡 Hint: Think about frequency dependency and how buildings experience motion differently.

Question 2

Analyze how a longer Significant Duration might influence the choice of materials in a seismic zone.

💡 Hint: Consider the material's performance over time under prolonged stress.
