Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a small retail structure with a soft storey. What specific measures would you change to ensure that the building meets seismic resistance standards?

💡 Hint: Think about what design elements can enhance the building's integrity.

Question 2

Two buildings were built adjacent to each other with one exhibiting a soft storey and the other designed with proper structural considerations. How might their performance differ in a seismic event? Analyze the factors influencing their behavior.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the principles of structural safety during seismic events.
