Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a hospital located in a seismic zone with soft soil. Develop a brief outline of the steps needed to create a site-specific response spectrum for this hospital.
💡 Hint: Focus on the environment and what aspects need careful analysis.
You have access to two data sets: one with historical seismicity and another with soil composition tests for a site. Discuss how you would use each dataset to create a site-specific response spectrum.
💡 Hint: Think about the interplay between historical data and site conditions.
