Full Description

This exam focuses on the dynamic response characteristics of structures exposed to environmental loads such as wind and seismic forces.

An understanding of dynamic response is critical for ensuring the resilience of structures against natural forces, thereby enhancing public safety and longevity.

The exam will challenge candidates to explain concepts such as damping, natural frequency, and the effects of dynamic loading on various structural forms.

Candidates will also be required to discuss design considerations related to mitigating dynamic impacts on structures.

Sample Questions

  • What is the significance of damping in structural health during seismic events?
  • How do environmental loads alter the design approach for tall buildings?
