Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Evaluate the design of a proposed hospital in an earthquake-prone area. What specific ductility and redundancy features would you include?

💡 Hint: Consider the materials important for flexibility and how to create alternate pathways for loads.

Question 2

Research a historical earthquake failure due to lack of redundancy or ductility and propose a design improvement that could have been made.

💡 Hint: Look into examples of buildings that collapsed and investigate their design.
