Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given different soil types, analyze their performances during an earthquake based on their damping and strain exhibits. Provide a theoretical approach to support your analysis.
💡 Hint: Consider the layering and layering effect of different soil types.
Question 2
Explore a scenario where an earthquake of varying frequencies affects different soil types and predict their responses based on damping characteristics.
💡 Hint: Factor in how soil behavior changes over time and with loading cycles.
