Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a structure exposed to seismic activity, evaluate whether to use an elastic or inelastic response spectrum and justify your choice.
💡 Hint: Reflect on the structural requirements typical for buildings in high vs. low seismic zones.
Question 2
Create a comparative analysis of design requirements when applying elastic versus inelastic response spectra based on historical earthquake data.
💡 Hint: Think about how risk management plays a role in design strategies during different seismic conditions.
