Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a structure that experiences significant yielding under seismic load, explain how you would approach modeling it using hysteresis models.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the cyclic loading and look for the model that best captures real conditions.

Question 2

You must analyze a multi-story building with large displacements during an earthquake. How would geometric nonlinearity affect your design considerations?

💡 Hint: Think about how the building's stability and safety are influenced by geometry.
