A 3-story building sits atop several columns. The top of the columns can only move 5.00 cm laterally with respect to the bottom before failing. An earthquake tremor with a ground displacement of 0.750 cm induces resonance. If the natural period of the structure is 2.50 s and the tremor lasts 7.00 s, will the columns survive? You will need to use : Δ x = π D t T D is the ground displacement, t is the tremor duration and T is the period of the structure.

(c) Figure 2a below shows the outline of a structure on which pressures are measured and the consequent pressure gradients calculated. The pressure gradients shown are positive zero and negative. Using sketches show the velocity profile that you would expect in each region and explain the balance of stresses that are present in each. This should include any progressive changes that you would expect within each region.
