Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a situation where an engineer decides to ignore axial deformation in a beam. Discuss potential impacts on structural integrity.

💡 Hint: Consider the consequences on load distribution when deformation is overlooked.

Question 2

Given a structure's model that uses a semi-rigid connection, compare its performance to one using a rigid connection. What factors would affect your analysis?

💡 Hint: Evaluate how much moment connections allow to pass through the structure.
