What are Dead Loads (DL) in the context of design loads?

Fixed loads such as the weight of the building components

Variable loads that change over time

Loads due to wind and weather conditions

Loads applied by the use of the building

Which of the following is considered a Dead Load?

The weight of the building components

The weight of temporary structures

The weight of people inside the building

What does the weight of fixed service equipment refer to in the context of Dead Loads?

Equipment that is permanently installed and does not move

Equipment that is brought in and out of the building regularly

The weight of vehicles parked inside the building

The weight of furniture and movable items

What are Live Loads (LL) in the context of building design?

Transient and moving loads produced by the use and occupancy of a building

Permanent fixtures and structural elements

Environmental factors such as wind and earthquakes

The weight of the building materials used in construction

Can Live Loads vary during a structure's lifetime?

No, they are constant and unchanging

No, they only change during construction

Yes, but only during natural disasters

Where are Live Loads specified?

In environmental impact reports

The force of accumulated snow on a roof

The amount of snow that can be used for skiing

The temperature at which snow melts on a roof

The color of snow seen on a roof

Where is snow load specified?

In building codes or local building department

What factors does snow load depend on?

Location, exposure to wind, importance of building, roof slope

The number of windows in the building

If ( p_g ) is less than or equal to 20 psf, what is the minimum snow load ( p_s )?

( p_s ) is not determined by ( p_g )

If ( p_g ) is greater than 20 psf, what is the minimum snow load ( p_s )?

( p_s ) is not determined by ( p_g )

What are the results of wind load (WL) on structures according to the image?

Lateral load on walls, downward and upward pressure on roofs, and overturning of the structure

Only downward pressure on roofs

Where are wind loads specified according to the image?

In the structural analysis report

What are the types of forces that earthquake loads (EQ) consist of?

Both vertical and lateral forces

Both vertical and rotational forces

Can building codes simplify the process of accounting for earthquake loading?

Yes, building codes can simplify loading

No, building codes have no influence on earthquake loading

Yes, but only for non-structural elements

No, building codes make it more complicated

What are flood loads a result of?

Lateral forces resulting from static and dynamic water pressure

What do building codes specify regarding the construction of buildings in flood-prone areas?

Buildings must be constructed above the flood elevation or flood-proofed

Buildings must have a floating foundation

Buildings must be constructed with lightweight materials

Buildings must be insured against flood damage

What is the definition of BFE (Base Flood Elevation)?

The water surface elevation resulting from a flood with a 1% chance of equaling or exceeding that level in any given year

The water surface elevation resulting from a flood with a 50% chance of equaling or exceeding that level in any given year

The maximum water surface elevation that has been recorded in a particular area

The average water surface elevation observed during flood events

What is required for dry flood-proofing of buildings?

Building must be designed and constructed to be watertight to floodwaters

Building must have an automatic drainage system

Building must be elevated on stilts

Building must use water-resistant materials only

How does the magnitude of soil pressure loads change with depth?

B) It remains constant with depth

D) It fluctuates unpredictably with depth

What does the load combination 'D + L + S + E/1.4' imply?

Dead load and live load are considered with snow load and 1.4 times earthquake load.

Dead load is added to live load, subtracted by snow load, and divided by earthquake load.

Dead load is multiplied by live load and snow load, then earthquake load is added.

Dead load, live load, and snow load are considered with earthquake load reduced by a factor of 1.4.

How do other forces besides the dead load vary in a building design?

In magnitude, duration, and location

In function, cost, and reliability

In direction, intensity, and frequency

In type, effect, and predictability

Why is a building designed for design load possibilities that may never occur?

To ensure the building can withstand unexpected loads

To reduce the cost of construction

To comply with aesthetic standards
