Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a structure in a soft soil area compared to one on hard rock. Discuss how the proposed designs might differ in terms of materials and structural integrity.

💡 Hint: Focus on how soil type influences the design.

Question 2

A building's original code-based design was based on IS 1893. If site-specific analysis shows significant amplifications at low frequencies, what design alterations should be considered?

💡 Hint: Reflect on how to ensure stability against amplified forces.
