Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

1.6

1.2

1.8

1.4

Question 2: When there is a conflict between the construction team and design team, what role does the site supervisor play?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The site supervisor handles only the construction activities, not the conflict resolution

The site supervisor solely defers to the design team without addressing the issue

The site supervisor prioritizes construction timelines, disregarding the design team's input

The site supervisor acts as a mediator, ensuring that both teams align and resolve conflicts promptly

Question 3: What should a site supervisor do to ensure that environmental impact assessments are conducted and followed throughout the construction process?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Ensure all workers are briefed on the requirements

Regularly review environmental reports and ensure compliance

Ignore it if there is no direct impact on the work schedule

Delegate responsibility to the environmental consultant only

Question 4: In structural design, what is the main purpose of a shear wall?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To provide thermal insulation

To resist lateral forces caused by wind and earthquakes

To provide support for the foundation

To resist vertical loads from the building's structure

Question 5: How does "Poisson's ratio" affect the deformation of a structure under load?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It determines the material's yield strength under compression

It has no significant effect on deformation

It influences the density of materials used in the structure

It defines the relationship between lateral strain and axial strain, affecting the overall deformation

Question 6: How do corrosion inhibitors affect the longevity of concrete structures exposed to harsh environments?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Corrosion inhibitors are used primarily to improve aesthetic properties, not performance

Corrosion inhibitors protect reinforcement bars from deterioration due to moisture, salts, and other chemicals, increasing longevity

Corrosion inhibitors weaken concrete by reducing the bond between reinforcement and the concrete

Corrosion inhibitors only affect the color of concrete and have no impact on structural performance
