Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A building is constructed with ductility demand estimated at 3% deformation. Given that the designer aimed for a capacity of 2%, discuss the implications for structural safety.
💡 Hint: Examine what happens when demand exceeds capacity.
Question 2
Evaluate the following structural design principles for enhancing ductility: material choice, hinge placement, and stiffness distribution. Which holds the most critical role in energy dissipation?
💡 Hint: Think about how each factor contributes to overall performance.
