Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a 12-story building modeled with 5 distinct modes. If modes 1 and 2 have correlated responses, simulate using both SRSS and CQC methods. Compare results.

💡 Hint: Focus on how correlation affects final calculations.

Question 2

Create a scenario where an engineer uses SRSS and obtains a lower maximum design load under earthquake conditions than required. Explain this discrepancy.

💡 Hint: Consider the impact of mode interaction.
