Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a set of seismic records, develop a site-specific response spectrum tailored for soft soil conditions. Discuss the choice of records and the implications of using incorrect data.
💡 Hint: Consider how different soil profiles amplify or damp seismic response.
Question 2
Evaluate the effect of topography on the ground response spectrum at a site located in a valley with ridges nearby. Discuss its potential impact on designing structures.
💡 Hint: Think about how geographical features either channel or obstruct seismic waves.
