Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A multi-story building utilizes both shear walls and moment frames for earthquake resistance. The total base shear calculated is 600 kN. If the shear walls contribute 40% and the moment frames contribute 60%, how much shear force does each element need to resist?

💡 Hint: Use percentages to divide the total base shear.

Question 2

Describe a scenario where a building utilizing a dual system fails during an earthquake due to improper load sharing. What could have been done differently?

💡 Hint: Reflect on previous case studies and historical events.
