PPD Mock Up
<p>406 Which of the following will be reviewed by the Building Department? Select all that apply</p>
<p>The Building Department will review for egress requirements, building height, and restroom accessibility. The Planning Department will review for right-of-way access on to and around a site as well as location of curb cuts. The Fire Department or Fire Marshall will review for fire department access onto the site.</p>
<p>397 Metal decking serves as tensile reinforcing for concrete which bonds by means of the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ in the sheet metal.</p>
<p>Metal decking serves as a tensile reinforcing for the concrete which bonds by means of the rib patterns in the sheet metal. </p>
<p>381You are in the early stages of design for a museum in the high desert in Southern California. Which is the most important consideration when deciding on the foundation location?</p>
<p>When considering the building foundation, the existing landforms are the most important elements to consider compared to others on the list. These land forms may dictate the placement of the foundation as well as foundation type. Water features on the site are an important consideration in foundation design. However the existing topography would be the primary consideration when selecting the foundation location. </p>
<p>367Which is a common lightweight wood frame roof form? Select all that apply</p>
<p>Common lightweight wood frame roof forms are: Gable, Butterfly, Shed, Hip, Mansard as well as Gambrel. </p>
<p>342.What cost estimating method is a good choice during the early programming or schematic design phase?</p>
<p>Area and Volume Method - Preliminary estimates, which reveal the floor area or volume of an initial design, allow better understanding of the cost and scale for a project. Where spaces are not habitable or not conventionally enclosed - these area and volume costs may deviate from the rest of the structure. Examples of variant spaces include: interstitial spaces, mechanical spaces, basements, covered walkways, balconies, and garages. </p>
<p>336 What is a proctor test?</p>
<p>A Proctor Test evaluates the native soils in both dry and wet conditions to determine the potential negative qualities of the soil. It is performed by dropping a hammer on a sample of soil several times and then dried for a period of time.</p>
<p>326What foundation would be best for a site with a high water table?</p>
<p>If the water table is located less than 6' below the surface, this is considered high and will limit foundation design. A mat slab or pile foundation may be necessary in order to evenly distribute the loads of the building on site. </p>
<p>312Which subsurface conditions would require a careful designed and potentially complex foundation design? Select all that apply</p>
<p>Other conditions that could effect foundation design include: Evidence of slides or sinking earth; Areas of recent fills such as garbage dumps; Rock formations close to the surface of the ground; Presence of swamps or peat.
</p>
<p>309 What is the Occupant Load in a building?</p>
<p>Occupant Load: the occupant load of a building is the total number of persons that might occupy a building. </p>
<p>308The four Zoning Types are: Select all that apply</p>
<p>1. Euclidean Zoning - also known as single use zoning, it is the most widely used form of zoning in the U.S. Employs segregation of land uses separated from one another. For example, shops are located in one area or zone, housing in another area or zone, and industrial in another area or zone. Named for the town of Euclid, Ohio.
2. Performance Zoning - utilizes performance based criteria for proposed projects. Designed to allow for flexibility in proposed development as well as respond to changing market conditions. It can be effective in increasing mixed use and diversity in a community. This form of zoning is not widely used in the U.S.
3. Incentive Zoning - encourage new development by implementing a reward based system for urban development. Development usually focuses on public benefits in the form of affordable housing and other valuable community amenities.
4. Form-Based Zoning - regulates the form that the land use may shape, such as setbacks, building heights, type of density, and pedestrian access rather than the type of land use. </p>
<p>285 Which mortar joints are best for exterior and shedding water? Select all that apply </p>
<p>Concave, weathered, vee and flush joints provide no flat surface for water to dwell. </p>
<p>281Select all of the Urban Forms from the list.</p>
<p>Finger Plan, Cluster, Satellite, and Sheet. </p>
<p>269Load bearing CMU’s are sold in two grades:</p>
<p>Load bearing units are sold in two grades: N for blocks that can withstand weathering and S for units that will be protected from the elements. </p>
<p>262Which is a source of internal heat transfer gain? Select all that apply</p>
<p>Causes of heat transfer gain include: Solar radiation through roof, walls and floors, People, Lighting, Equipment </p>
<p>258.What are 4 types of fire detection devices: Select all that apply
ionization</p>
<p>The 4 types of fire detection devices: Ionization, Photoelectric, Rise of Temperature, Infrared or Ultraviolet radiation Flame detectors. </p>
<p>238 What can be applied as an insulating buffer and a weather-tight finishing layer.</p>
<p>EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finishing System) can be applied as an insulating buffer and a weather-tight finishing layer. </p>
<p>206 What is determined by a building's Occupancy Group?</p>
<p>Occupancy Group is the intended use of the building that will determine certain requirements for fire safety and egress, including the size of the room, size of exits, and need for sprinklers. </p>
