Question 1: In terms of concrete durability, what is the effect of high chloride content in the environment?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It improves the concrete's resistance to freeze-thaw cycles

It reduces the shrinkage cracking in concrete

It increases the workability of the concrete

It accelerates the corrosion of steel reinforcement

Question 2: Which type of insulation material is typically used for thermal resistance in building envelopes?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Concrete blocks with embedded insulation

Metal foils that reflect heat

Silica-based materials for high-temperature applications

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) or Extruded Polystyrene (XPS)

Question 3: What is the effect of temperature-induced stresses on steel structures and how is it accounted for in design?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Temperature changes primarily affect the decorative finish of the steel structure

Temperature changes only affect wooden structures, not steel

Temperature changes can induce thermal expansion and contraction, which must be accounted for in material selection and design

Temperature-induced stresses do not affect steel as it remains invariant to temperature changes

Question 4: How does the procurement process influence the timeline of a construction project?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Procurement processes affect the timely acquisition of materials and services, impacting project delivery times

Procurement processes are relevant only in the planning phase, not execution

Procurement only impacts labor costs, not material costs or timeline

Procurement is not a critical phase in project management, as long as construction begins

Question 5: What is the primary characteristic of high-strength concrete?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It is used primarily for aesthetic purposes

It contains admixtures that improve strength and durability

It has a high water-to-cement ratio

It has a low air content

Question 6: What is the purpose of "compatibility of deformations" in structural analysis?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To ensure equilibrium of forces within the structure

To maintain the strain within permissible limits

To ensure that the loads are balanced across the structure

To ensure that the displacements and deformations in a structure are consistent with the boundary conditions
