Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a small three-story building using a barycentric braced frame system for a seismic zone with an R value of 4. Discuss how you would approach calculation of seismic forces.
💡 Hint: Pay attention to how the R value influences overall forces.
Question 2
Analyze how choosing an R value of 3 versus 5 affects material costs in a high-seismic area. Discuss using examples.
💡 Hint: Consider reinforcement type and quantity.
