Question 1

In places where transportation of large members is difficult what kind of fabrication is preferred?
A)plant prefabrication
B)site fabrication
C)standardisation
D)prefabricate systems

Accepted Answer

Site fabrication is preferred in locations where transporting large members is challenging, as it allows for the construction and assembly of components directly at the final location, avoiding the difficulties associated with transporting large, prefabricated parts.

Question 2

Transportation of precast members accounts for about
A)20-25%ofthecostof production and assembling
B)10-15% of the cost of production and assembling
C)10-20% of the cost of production and assembling
D)5-15% of the cost of production and assembling

Accepted Answer

B

Question 3

Plant fabrication is suited better for
A)large number of small prefabricates
B)large e long panel members
C)standard is members
D)limited production

Accepted Answer

Plant fabrication is more efficient for producing a large number of small prefabricates due to the controlled environment and economies of scale.

Question 4

................... is the factor used to obtain the design seismic force depending on the functional use of the structure, characterized by hazardous consequences of its failure, its post-earthquake functional need, historic value, or economic importance.
A)importance factor
B)response reduction factor
C)all of the above
D)none of the above

Accepted Answer

The importance factor is used to adjust the design seismic force based on the significance and use of the structure, including considerations for its potential risk, need for post-earthquake functionality, historical value, or economic importance.

Question 5

The elastic rebound theory is an explanationfor how ... is spread duringearthquakes
A)load
B)stress
C)energy
D)intensity of load

Accepted Answer

The elastic rebound theory explains how energy is released during earthquakes as the Earth's crust deforms and then suddenly snaps back to its original shape, releasing stored energy in the form of seismic waves.

Question 6

Damping is the energy dissipation properties of a material or system under stress.
A)dynamic stress
B)static stress
C)non cyclic stress
D)cyclic stress

Accepted Answer

Damping is most relevant to cyclic stress, where energy is dissipated over repeated cycles of loading and unloading.

Question 7

Choose the correct answer.
A)converting static load into dynamic load is known as equivalent design loads.
B)converting dynamic load into static load is known as equivalent design loads.
C)both a &b
D)none of the above

Accepted Answer

Equivalent design loads refer to the process of converting dynamic loads into static loads for the purposes of analysis and design, simplifying the design process by allowing the use of static analysis methods.

Question 8

Which of the following defines Magnitude?
A)the severity of earthquake shaking is assessed using a descriptive scale
B)quantitative measure of the size of the earthquake at its source
C)both a &b
D)none of the above

Accepted Answer

Magnitude is a quantitative measure of the size of the earthquake at its source.

Question 9

How many methods are generally used to avoid the disproportionate collapse in a building?
A)one
B)two
C)three
D)zero

Accepted Answer

Three methods are generally used to avoid disproportionate collapse: tying, alternate load path, and enhanced local resistance.

Question 10

Choose the correct answer in terms of special requirements for building in High Seismic Zones
A)the height of the building shall generally restricted to 5 stores in zone iv
B)the height of the building shall generally restricted to 7 stores in zone iv
C)the height of the building shall generally restricted to 8 stores in zone iv
D)the height of the building shall generally restricted to 10 stores in zone iv

Question 11

Choose the correct answer in terms of special requirements for building in High Seismic Zones
A)the height of the building shall generally restricted to 5 stores in zone v
B)the height of the building shall generally restricted to 6 stores in zone v
C)the height of the building shall generally restricted to 7 stores in zone v
D)the height of the building shall generally restricted to 8 stores in zone v

Accepted Answer

In high seismic zones, particularly Zone V which is considered the most seismically active zone, building codes and regulations often impose stricter requirements to ensure the safety and stability of structures during earthquakes. One common restriction is on the height of buildings to reduce the risk of collapse during seismic events. The statement that the height of the building shall generally be restricted to 5 stories in Zone V aligns with conservative approaches to building design in these high-risk areas to minimize potential damage and loss of life during an earthquake.

Question 12

In a Prefabricated R C floors in a cyclone prone zone the Structural deck concrete of grade not leaner than .............. should be provided over pre-cast components to act monolithic with them.
A)m10
B)m15
C)m20
D)m25

Accepted Answer

In cyclone-prone zones, it is recommended to use a structural deck concrete of grade not leaner than M20 over pre-cast components to ensure that the structure acts monolithically and can withstand the high wind forces associated with cyclones.

Question 13

Which of the following does not comes under the types of progressive collapse
A)domino-type collapse
B)section type collapse
C)stability type collapse
D)mixed-type collapse

Accepted Answer

Stability type collapse is not a type of progressive collapse.

Question 14

Depending on the degree of workability and placing condition determine the                        
A)slump value
B)the maximum size of aggregate
C)the amount of mixing water
D)the minimum water-cement ratio

Accepted Answer

The answer of Depending on the degree of workability and...
