According to NFPA, burning building collapse is the ________ leading cause of fireground deaths.
a) First
b) Second
c) Third
d) Fourth ✔Correct Answer-d
What are the three factors that will likely contribute to an increase in collapse of burning buildings?
a) Older buildings that need to be maintained, abandon buildings, lightweight construction for newer
buildings.
b) Fire codes are out of date, Buildings are older, decorative finishings
c) Structural integrity of the building, Building material hazards, Fire code out of date.
d) none of the above ✔Correct Answer-a
True or False: Contents fire is as hazardous as a structural fire. ✔Correct Answer-False:
A contents fire is not as hazardous as a structural fire. Once it is determined that fire is consuming or
affecting the structure itself, we must recognize that fire may now affect the gravity resistance of a
building and poses a greater potential for structural collapse.
What is the definition of a Dead Load?
a) The weight of the building and any part of the building that is permanently attached or built in.
b) Any load in the building that is not built in and may vary, including environmental loads.
c) are loads that are delivered over a short period of time. In a fire, building elements that have
supported one another for years are unsettled. The overturning of a heavy live load (e.g. a big safe)
or a Firefighter jumping on a roof may be enough of an impact load to cause collapse. If parts of a
building system begin to collapse, this will represent an impact load that can result in further
collapse.
d) are live loads that are applied slowly and are then not moved, for example a large heavy safe.
✔Correct Answer-a
What is the definition of Live Load?
a) The weight of the building and any part of the building that is permanently attached or built in.
b) Any load in the building that is not built in and may vary, including environmental loads.

What is the definition of Repeated Loads?
a) are live loads that are applied intermittently. An example might be an industrial rolling bridge
crane that applies repeated loads to the columns as it passes over them.
b) is the force applied to a building or structural member by the wind. Firefighters operating in or
near buildings under construction must use extra caution, because the interconnection of all building
parts may not be complete, and temporary bracing may be inadequate.
c) are heavy loads located at one point in a building over a small contact area. A beam resting on a
wall is a concentrated dead load. A safe is a concentrated live load.
d) Loads can be suspended by slender tensile members connected to beams or other members.
Although this technique can help to eliminate columns and the need for larger compressive
,members to perform the same task, it can be hazardous for Firefighters. As in lightweight

Answer-d
What is the definition of Imposition Loads?
a) Loads are classified in the manner that they are imposed on the building.
b) Is a force that passes through the centre of the section and is evenly applied and perpendicular to
the structure. All things being equal, structure will sustain its greatest load when it is axial.
c) Is a force that is not applied to the centre of the supporting column or wall but is perpendicular to
the plane of intersection. It will therefore bend the supporting members. In other words the load is
straight and true, but is concentrated to one side of the centre of the supporting column or wall.
d) are forces that are offset from the centre of the section and have a tendency to twist the
supporting members. ✔Correct Answer-a
