Section from winds Right Ans - Winds create section on most roof surfaces
and on leeward walls.
Torsion Right Ans - Variations in the strength or stiffness of the perimeter
frame or wall structure causes torsion in a building during earthquakes. Can
be alleviated by adding sheer walls or stiffening the frame with bracing or
additional columns.
, Stiff core Right Ans - Should not be located asymmetrically in a building. If
it is, should be disconnected from the rest of the structure to prevent it from
inducing torsional forces into the structure.
Notches or reentrant corners Right Ans - Concentrate stresses, the building
should be structurally separated into two or more uniform elements if these

materials to be located above flood levels.
Sloops roofs Right Ans - Roofs with a pitch over 4 to 12 have fewer
problems than flat or slightly sloped roofs.
Flat surfaces Right Ans - Difficult to waterproof. Should have a minimum
slope to drain of one quarter inch per foot to avoid standing ponds of water.
Roof manufacturers warranties Right Ans - May reserve the right to
approve the roofing contractor, provide representative to inspect the
installation and provide technical assistance. Manufacturers may disclaim
responsibility for parts of roofs system supplied by others such as flashing
materials.
Masonry water protection Right Ans - Chemical sealers may be applied to
the surface of masonry to rappel water. Alternatively, impermeable backup
materials such as Sheetmetal, elastomeric membranes, or building paper may
be used.
