The total complex of houses, factories, offices, schools, and so on in which we live and work
✔Correct Answer-Built Environment
the weight of the structure itself ✔Correct Answer-Dead load
The weight of items such as furnishings, people, traffic, and equipment related to the use or
occupancy of the building ✔Correct Answer-Live Load
Design weights required by building codes to be considered for accumulation of snow and ice
✔Correct Answer-Snow and ice loads
Determined using horizontal wind pressures associated with a design wind velocity that is
specified for a location ✔Correct Answer-Wind Forces
Earthquakes produce ground accelerations and deformations that vary over time ✔Correct
Answer-Earthquake Forces
Several building components that work together to protect the building's structure and its
contents from the elements ✔Correct Answer-Building Envelope System
Any structure in which vertical walls and/or diagonally braced frames simultaneously support
both the weight of the structure and resist lateral loads ✔Correct Answer-Bearing wall system
System in which the weight of the structure is completely supported by beams and columns
✔Correct Answer-Building Frame System
Structure composed of beams and columns that are rigidly interconnected into moment-
resisting frames to provide resistance to both vertical loads and lateral forces, without
assistance from walls or diagonal braces ✔Correct Answer-Moment-resisting Frame System
System that provides 2 independent lateral-force-resisting systems, each capable of resisting all
or part of the total lateral design forces ✔Correct Answer-Dual System
Include base-isolated or guyed systems, which do not fit the previous descriptions ✔Correct
Answer-Special Systems
Horizontal-spanning systems that tie vertical walls and columns together, provide stability to
walls and other vertical elements, prevent excessive torsional (plane) deformations, and transfer
forces to shear walls or frames below ✔Correct Answer-Diaphragm Systems
, Piles, Piers, Caissons, Spread Footings, and Mats ✔Correct Answer-Foundation Types
Deep foundation systems designed to support heavy buildings on soft, compressible surface
soils ✔Correct Answer-Piles, Piers, Caissons
Shallow foundation systems designed to support light buildings or heavier buildings on stiffer,
stronger surface soils ✔Correct Answer-Spread Footings and Mats
The energy expended when unit force moves a body through unit distance ✔Correct Answer-
Joule (J)
A measure of power or the rate of energy release ✔Correct Answer-Watt (W)
The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1g of water by 1 degree C
✔Correct Answer-Calorie
The amount of heat required to increase temperature of 1 lb of water by 1 degree F ✔Correct
Answer-British Thermal Unit (BTU)
The amount of heat it absorbs as its temperature increases ✔Correct Answer-Specific Heat
The ratio of a substance's mass to its volume ✔Correct Answer-Density
The ratio of the mass of a solid or liquid substance to the mass of an equal volume of water
✔Correct Answer-Specific Gravity
The ratio of the mass of a gas to the mass of an equal volume of dry air at the same
temperature and pressure ✔Correct Answer-Gas Specific Gravity
The upward force exerted on a body or volume of fluid by the ambient fluid surrounding it
✔Correct Answer-Buoyancy
A mole of an element or compound is the amount that corresponds to the gram molecular
weight ✔Correct Answer-Mole
Process by which reactants are converted into products ✔Correct Answer-Chemical Reaction
A stoichiometric mixture of fuel and air is one which there is an exact equivalence of fuel and
oxygen (in the air) so that after combustion all fuel has been consumed and no oxygen is left
✔Correct Answer-Stoichiometry
The energy that is absorbed or released when that reaction takes place ✔Correct Answer-
Heat of Reaction
