Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Examine an existing building that suffered from inadequate ductility. Identify the causes related to design mistakes you're familiar with and propose a redesign strategy focusing on enhancing ductility.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the principles discussed in our sessions.

Question 2

Design a hypothetical RC structure in a seismic zone. Outline the design elements you would use to ensure ductility using IS standards.

💡 Hint: Think through the aspects of reinforcement and joints we've covered.
