Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using IS 1893:2016 guidelines, assess the seismic response of a tall building situated on soft soil in a high seismic zone. Describe the design alterations that must be made to ensure safety.

💡 Hint: Consider how the building interacts with different soil types and seismic intensities.

Question 2

Evaluate the implications of improperly classified soil types on the seismic response of an existing bridge. What methods could be employed to rectify the design?

💡 Hint: Reflect on the importance of correct data before structural engineering.
