Which of the following is NOT true about a Pile Foundation?
1.) It is a long cylinder of a strong material such as concrete pushed into the ground to act as a steady
support for structures built on top of it.
2.) It is capable of taking higher loads than spread footings.
3.) It is used when there is a deep layer of weak soil at the top of the surface.
4.) It is used for very heavy, concentrated loads, such as in a high rise structure, bridge, or water tank.
5.) They are all true - Precise Answer ✔✔5.) They are all true
What does an arch take advantage of? - Precise Answer ✔✔Axial strength
Which structural systems are designed to resist spending forces? - Precise Answer ✔✔Section Active
According to John Cleese, which mindset is purposeful, deliberate, and best when dealing with common
tasks? - Precise Answer ✔✔Closed mindset
Which is not true about a moment frame system?
1.) It is typically located around a building's perimeter.
2.) it transfers lateral forces to the ground through both bending and shear stress.
3.) The connection from the beam to the column is designed to resist bending moment.
4.) It is not used as often in regions with high seismic or wind potential. - Precise Answer ✔✔All answers
are true
Which of the following is not an LRFD low combination and instead is an ASD load combination? -
Precise Answer ✔✔D + L
,Which two loads do not both occur together in a load combination? - Precise Answer ✔✔Wind and
seismic
What size structure are the most susceptible to failure from wind loads? - Precise Answer ✔✔Tall and
slender
Which of the following is a similarity between ASD and LRFD? - Precise Answer ✔✔Nominal strength is
calculated the same way
What components of a building are governed by overturning loads? - Precise Answer ✔✔foundations
and anchors
According to the book, what should be done to achieve elegance in structures?
1.) Structural involvement early in the design.
2.) Have the architect and engineer place continued attention on the project throughout the entire
process.
3.) All answers are correct.
4.) Integrate architectural and structural work. - Precise Answer ✔✔All answers are correct
What is the job of the structural engineer during the design development phase of the project? - Precise
Answer ✔✔To design the typical framing, lateral, and foundation systems
What is the MAIN variable in determining wind pressure? - Precise Answer ✔✔Wind velocity
Which of the following is not example when using timber? - Precise Answer ✔✔permitted use in taller
and larger buildings
Which of the following is not considered a live load? - Precise Answer ✔✔a window
Seismic forces are a function of which factors? - Precise Answer ✔✔ground motion and the structures
weight and stiffness
, Who is NOT a part of the design team? - Precise Answer ✔✔Product representatives
What is wrong with an overly conservative design approach? - Precise Answer ✔✔It will overstimulate
cost and lead to reduction in other parts of the project
Which is the correct order for the five phase of designs? - Precise Answer ✔✔Schematic design ->
Design Development -> Construction Documentation -> Bidding and Negotiation -> Construction
Administration
Which of these is not a form activated structural system ? - Precise Answer ✔✔Truss
How do you find the load transmitted into a column? - Precise Answer ✔✔Determine the reaction of the
beam framing into the column or find the tributary area of one column and multiply it by the dead load
per unit area.
Which of the following transfers gravity and lateral loads?
1.) diaphragms
2.) Shear walls and frame
3.) frame
4.) Shear wall
5.) All answers are true - Precise Answer ✔✔All answers are true
Which is the true about load path? - Precise Answer ✔✔The shortest load path is the most economical
in all loads want to travel eventually to the supports or foundations
What's wrong with not having columns aligned from the roof to the foundation? - Precise Answer ✔✔all
of these reasons: it cause friction between the architect and structural engineer, it can make the
buildings more expensive when large members are needed to transfer the load, it makes the low path
more complicated, Engineers can lose money as well when they have to design the column load transfer
Which is not true about Joists? - Precise Answer ✔✔Girders can be supported by joists
