Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a site with 20m depth to a very soft soil layer, assess the expected seismic response compared to a shallow layer of hard rock.
💡 Hint: Relate the concepts of depth and soil type to wave behavior.
Question 2
Evaluate the impact of varying topographies on seismic wave propagation in two different regions, one mountainous and another flat.
💡 Hint: Consider how shapes influence wave dynamics.
