Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Evaluate a bridge design where the ductility demand is estimated to be 12 cm. If the bridge’s ductility capacity is found to be 10 cm, discuss the implications and redesign strategies.

💡 Hint: Consider material options and the function of connections.

Question 2

Propose a system to measure the ductility demand on a new high-rise structure built in a seismic zone. Include subject matter coverage in your answer.

💡 Hint: Think about integration of technology and geographic data.
