Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Identify a structure in your area that you believe has adequate confinement techniques. Discuss its design and how it prevents failure during seismic events.
💡 Hint: Look for buildings that have survived during earthquakes.
Question 2
Consider a case study of a building that collapsed during an earthquake due to poor confinement. Analyze the failure points and suggest how the design could have been improved.
💡 Hint: Research past earthquakes and find examples of structural failures.
