Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Evaluate a scenario where a multi-story building is designed with a natural frequency that closely matches the seismic wave frequency during an earthquake. Discuss potential outcomes and design revisions needed.

💡 Hint: Focus on concepts of frequency and design mitigation strategies.

Question 2

Assume a structure underwent an inelastic response during an earthquake. Analyze the benefits and potential risks linked to this response. What design solutions could strengthen the structure?

💡 Hint: Think about energy absorption in engineering solutions.
