Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a time history of ground motion, apply the Newmark-beta method to calculate the peak displacement of a structure with a known mass and stiffness. Show all steps.

💡 Hint: Break down each equation step and ensure parameter values are incorporated correctly.

Question 2

A building has a natural period of 1.5 seconds and a damping ratio of 5%. Predict how the response spectrum would differ if the damping was increased to 10%.

💡 Hint: Analyze how increased energy dissipation modifies the structural response during seismic events.
