Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a beam and a column system for a multi-story building in a high seismic zone. Ensure the design reflects the strong column-weak beam principle. What implications does this have on material choice and dimensions?

💡 Hint: Consider required moments and reinforcement ratios in your calculations.

Question 2

Critique an existing building that failed during an earthquake. Identify the flaws in its ductility provisions according to IS 13920 and propose a retrofitting technique based on your analysis.

💡 Hint: Use specific IS codes to validate your proposed intervention.
