Question 1: How does the accuracy of measurements in surveying impact the overall construction process?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Surveying is primarily used for site aesthetics, not for precise construction planning

Accuracy of measurements has little impact, as adjustments can be made during construction

Measurement accuracy only affects material cost, not the structural integrity of the project

Accurate measurements ensure that the project aligns with design specifications, reducing errors during construction

Question 2: In the design of a building foundation, what is the primary function of "settlement analysis"?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Settlement analysis is only necessary when building on sloped sites

Settlement is ignored in foundation design if the soil appears stable

Settlement analysis is used only for aesthetic purposes in determining the building's appearance

To predict and control the amount of movement that occurs in the foundation due to soil compression and load application

Question 3: What role does geodetic control play in surveying for large-scale construction projects?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Geodetic control is only used for design aesthetics, not for accuracy in measurements

Geodetic control focuses on soil composition, not site layout

Geodetic control is used to measure material costs, not to survey the land

Geodetic control establishes a high-precision reference network for surveying across large sites, ensuring alignment and accuracy

Question 4: In designing a "moment-resisting frame" for seismic load resistance, what is the most important consideration?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The flexibility of the joints to accommodate seismic movements

The aesthetic arrangement of the frame elements

The strength of the material used

The weight of the structure

Question 5: When managing a construction project, how does communication management ensure project success?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It ensures that all stakeholders are informed, and any issues are addressed proactively, preventing delays and conflicts

It focuses on increasing project scope, without regard to project timelines or budgets

It is only necessary for subcontractor relationships, not client or regulatory communication

Communication management helps to avoid formal contracts, speeding up project delivery

Question 6: Which of the following materials is commonly used for producing sustainable, energy-efficient windows in modern construction?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Aluminum

Vinyl

Wood

Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass
