Question 1: How does a site survey help in assessing environmental impacts during site analysis?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

A site survey helps identify sensitive areas, such as wetlands or habitats, that must be protected during development

It assesses only the aesthetic appeal of the site, without considering environmental impacts

It primarily focuses on design preferences, disregarding environmental factors

It calculates the cost of construction without considering environmental consequences

Question 2: In the analysis of a frame structure, which method is most suitable for solving for internal forces and displacements?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The stiffness method (matrix method)

The direct stiffness method

The displacement method

The moment-curvature method

Question 3: In geotechnical site investigations, what is the role of soil sampling?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Soil sampling provides representative data on soil properties such as strength, moisture content, and composition, influencing design

Soil sampling helps to determine surface contamination but is not relevant for foundation design

Soil sampling is used to assess the aesthetic appearance of the soil for landscaping purposes

Soil sampling is unnecessary if site history has been documented properly

Question 4: How should a site supervisor address a situation where workers are not adhering to safety protocols?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Wait until the task is completed and then address the issue

Report the issue to upper management and wait for instructions

Allow the workers to continue as long as they work efficiently

Immediately stop the work, assess the safety hazards, and reinforce safety training

Question 5: Which of the following tests is commonly used to determine the compressive strength of cohesive soils?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test

Unconfined compression test

Direct shear test

Triaxial compression test

Question 6: What does the term "flexural rigidity" refer to in structural beam analysis?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The beam's resistance to lateral displacement under load

The beam's ability to resist torsional deformation

The shear resistance of the beam material

The ability of a beam to resist bending when subjected to a moment
