Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given the spectral ordinates for a particular site with a 5% exceedance probability, how would you adjust your designs if you had data showing a recent earthquake increased that probability to 10%? Discuss the implications.
💡 Hint: Think about safety margins and how they reflect on design.
Question 2
Consider a city's UHS shows significant amplification for soft soil conditions. How will this impact the application of the UHS in structural design?
💡 Hint: Focus on the relationship between soil type and building responses.
