Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with selecting ground motions for a new high-rise building in a soft soil area within a major seismic zone. Outline the steps and criteria you would use in this selection process, including how you address the site-specific conditions.

💡 Hint: Consider how the characteristics of the seismic source will impact the building.

Question 2

Critique the possible risks associated with only relying on generic ground motion data instead of site-specific data for a critical infrastructure project.

💡 Hint: Think about how different quakes can act differently based on geological context.
