Preview Questions Civil Engineer | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: Which of the following is the primary benefit of using composite materials (e.g., FRP) in civil engineering applications?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Improved fire resistance

Low cost and easy availability

Increased thermal conductivity

Reduced weight and high strength-to-weight ratio

Question 2: When designing a reinforced concrete beam, what is the purpose of longitudinal reinforcement?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To resist bending moments

To resist axial load

To resist shear forces

To provide fire resistance

Question 3: What is a "contour map," and how is it used in site analysis for construction?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It shows elevation changes on the site and helps in determining proper grading and drainage

It outlines the road network and utility placements across the site

It marks the property boundaries and the locations of existing structures

A contour map is used only for landscape design and not for structural work

Question 4: What is the purpose of conducting a "safety audit" during the construction phase?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To review the project's financial status

To evaluate the implementation of safety measures and ensure adherence to safety protocols

To check the progress of construction and meet deadlines

To assess the environmental impact of the construction

Question 5: In terms of soil mechanics, what does the term "active earth pressure" refer to?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The pressure exerted by the soil during soil expansion

The pressure exerted by soil in the presence of a water table

The pressure exerted by the soil against retaining walls when the wall is moving away from the soil

The pressure exerted by soil on the walls of a foundation due to soil weight

Question 6: What is the most important consideration when designing a cantilever beam?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The span length and point of application of loads

The design of the supporting columns

The aesthetic aspect of the design

The weight of the materials used
