Question 1

What is a major challenge in designing irregular structures?

  • Standardized response to seismic loads
  • Complex dynamic behavior during earthquakes
  • Uniformity in stress distribution

💡 Hint: Think about how irregular shapes cause unpredictable responses.

Question 2

True or False: Vertical irregularities can only arise from mass differences in a structure.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider all aspects that might change along a building's height.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a small building with a torsional irregularity. Identify the potential issues during an earthquake and suggest design measures to mitigate these risks.

💡 Hint: What structural features can help resist twisting forces?

Question 2

Analyze a scenario where two adjacent buildings exhibit different heights but are subject to the same seismic forces. Discuss the implications this has on their performance and suggest how engineers might counteract these differences in their designs.

💡 Hint: How do varying heights affect the response to seismic events?
