Preview Questions Civil Engineer | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: When selecting a material for a bridge deck, what is the primary factor that determines the choice between concrete and steel?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The aesthetic quality of the material

The overall weight of the material

The ease of installation

The material's resistance to fatigue and corrosion

Question 2: What is the importance of "shear force" in the design of reinforced concrete beams?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It helps determine the amount of shear reinforcement needed to prevent failure at the beam's supports

Shear force is only considered in the design of steel structures

Shear force does not significantly impact beam design

Shear force is less important than bending moment in beam design

Question 3: In structural applications, what is the most common type of steel used for reinforcing concrete?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Mild steel

Carbon steel

High-strength low-alloy steel

Stainless steel

Question 4: What is the importance of maintaining a construction log during site supervision?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It helps to track costs but is not relevant to the construction process

It serves as a visual record of the construction site's appearance for marketing purposes

It is used primarily to report accidents without any role in project management

It documents daily activities, weather conditions, labor hours, and material usage, ensuring project accountability and progress

Question 5: What is the primary purpose of using "carbon fiber reinforcement" in concrete structures?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To reduce the weight of the concrete structure

To resist water infiltration

To improve the aesthetic appeal of the structure

To enhance the tensile strength and durability of concrete

Question 6: What is the main objective of the "failure mode effects analysis" (FMEA) in construction risk assessment?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To evaluate the effectiveness of the workforce

To analyze the financial cost of potential risks

To determine the best material selection for the project

To identify potential failure modes of materials and processes, and mitigate their impact
