Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Analyze a region with a probability of exceedance of 5% over 50 years. How would this change the MCE compared to a 2% probability?
💡 Hint: Compare the statistical probabilities and their impacts on structural requirements.
Question 2
If a building designed for MCE experiences an earthquake exceeding its predicted level, discuss the implications and potential fail-safes built into its design.
💡 Hint: Consider what structural measures help mitigate unexpected seismic impacts.
