A+!!
When would you use the BCDPP vs the master planning steps? - ✔✔Master planning steps
are used for bases on US soil, base camp development planning process (BCDPP) is for in-
theatre construction.
What are the components of concrete? - ✔✔Water, Portland Cement, aggregate,
admixtures, and air
True or false: The purpose of adding rebar is to make concrete stronger under compression. -
✔✔False, concrete is strong under compression, rebar helps make concrete stronger under
tension.
The chemical reaction between Portland cement and water is known as ____________. -
✔✔Hydration
What are the two types of reinforcement for concrete? - ✔✔Structural Steel (rebar):
designed to reinforce concrete against forces from static and dynamic loads. Temperature and
shrinkage steel (wire mesh): designed to prevent surface cracks as the concrete dries and
endures temperature changes.
___ gallons of water should be added for every 1 50lb sack of cement - ✔✔8 gallons
Which one of the following characteristics of concrete INCREASES as water is added? Strength,
durability, water tightness, or workability - ✔✔Workability. All of the others decrease as
water is added.
, You are building a concrete pad that heavy vehicles will enter onto from a dirt road. How much
should you thicken the edge? What is the ratio you use for a length of taper for a thickened
pad? - ✔✔Thicken edge by 50% and use a 1:10 taper (e.g. if you have an 8" thick slab,
thicken by 4" and the taper will be 40" long.)
What are the three project components? - ✔✔Time, Money, and Scope
What mathematical operations do you use in the resource estimation equation for work rates?
- ✔✔Multiply, equals, divide, equals, divide, equals.
Match the term to the definition.
a. Free Float
b. Interfering Float
c. Total Float
_____________ Amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the project
_____________ Amount of time an activity can be delayed without affecting any other activity
_____________ Amount of time an activity can be delayed that will delay a subsequent activity
but won't delay the overall project - ✔✔Total Float, Free Float, Interfering Float
Name 5 designs of non-standard fixed bridges. - ✔✔Beam, Truss, Arch, Suspension, Cable
Stayed
True or False: a bridge that is used as a tactical bridge cannot also be used as a support bridge. -
✔✔False - if the bridge is in condition to handle vehicles it can also be used as a support
bridge.
Put the three bridging categories in order from shortest to longest use time frame: LOC,
tactical, and support. - ✔✔Tactical, Support, LOC
What are the bridging types? - ✔✔Standard and Nonstandard
