Question 1
What is the purpose of calculating storey shear in a building?
- A. To determine seismic weight
- B. To assess lateral force resistance
- C. To calculate material costs
💡 Hint: Storey shear relates directly to how buildings respond to lateral loads.
Question 2
True or False: Overturning moment is calculated using the lateral forces acting across all floors of a building.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider what contributes to an overturning moment.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A structure has a total height of 20 m with an applied lateral load of 25 kN. If the building is divided into four equal storeys, calculate the storey shear for each storey and discuss how it might change across the heights.
💡 Hint: Think about how forces are transferred within a structure.
Question 2
Analyze how an increase of 5 m in height affects the overturning moment of a building subjected to the same lateral force of 50 kN, originally acting at 15 m height.
💡 Hint: Overturning moment is directly related to height, so anticipate increases with added height.
