Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a design scenario where a multi-story building is constructed in a seismic zone. Identify the limitations of relying solely on response spectra for seismic assessment.

💡 Hint: Consider how the structure might behave differently than assumed.

Question 2

Given a scenario where you must present a case to stakeholders about the importance of phase information during ground motion analysis, what key points would you cover?

💡 Hint: Draw parallels to other rhythms or coordinated systems to illustrate your points.
