Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
An engineer collects data on a multi-story building's seismic response. Response in one direction is 8 units, and in a second direction, it is 6 units. How would you calculate the total response using SRSS? Use a practical approach to explain your answer.
💡 Hint: Use the SRSS formula.
Discuss how neglecting the interaction of forces could lead to inadequate structural design. Use a real-world example of a building or bridge that has suffered due to unaccounted responses.
💡 Hint: Consider case-studies and historical data for evidence.
