CDU NUR329 EXAM WITH 100+ QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
What is the maximum spacing for stirrups within the required range in a concrete beam
per code? - Answer d/2
What is meant by development length in reinforced concrete and what does it depend
on? - Answer Development length = minimum length of a reinforcing bar that
needs to be embedded into the concrete to fully develop its tensile strength
What is meant by concrete cover and why is it important? - Answer Concrete cover
= acts as a protective layer shielding the steel from corrosion, finer damage, and
other environmental factors
What is the function of vertical reinforcement in concrete columns? - Answer Resist
the axial compressive load applied to the column by transferring the load from
the structure to the foundation
What is the principle of prestressing concrete? - Answer Use internal stress to
counteract external loads and takes advantage of concretes compressive
strength
What are three ways to maintain vertical continuity of longitudinal steel reinforcement? -
Answer Lap splicing, mechanical splices, weld splices
Structural material would you recommend be used and 3 structural reasons why? -
Answer Steel: high strength weight ratio, flexible framing, high flame resistance
factor, durability
Why does the ACI 318 Concrete design code limit the amount of longitudinal tensile
reinforcing steel in a concrete beam to 0.75pb? - Answer steel yield fits
What does pb represent? - Answer pb = simultaneous yielding of the steel and
crushing of concrete
What is the approximate cause of the concrete tunnel ceiling panel collapse that killed
one person and injured another? - Answer Epoxy creep deformation and fracture
What were at least three underlying issues that contributed to the ceiling panel
collapse? Discuss whether each of the three involved unethical or unprofessional
behavior and explain why or why not. - Answer The wrong epoxy formula was
used, which had a poor resistance to creep
Design flaws and lots of ineffective communication
Management ignored warning sign due to cost and schedule
, Discuss at least two similarities between what happened with the CA/T ceiling panel
collapse and the walkway collapse at the Hyatt Regency in Kansas City - Answer
There were design flaws in both projects and a lack of communication between
the parties involved. Also, management had a lack of awareness and care due to
cost and time management
Long Shot (LS) - Answer a shot that captures a subject from the top of the head
to the bottom of the feet and does not include many of the surrounding details
Medium Long Shot (MLS) - Answer A shot that includes the top of a subject's
head to a line just above or just below the knee.
Medium Shot (MS) - Answer A shot that frames a subject from the top of the
head to a line just below the chest.
Medium Close Up (MCU) - Answer
A shot that captures a subject from the top of the head to a line just above or
below the belt or waistline.
Close Up (CU) - Answer A shot that frames a subject from the top of the head to
a line just above or at the top of the shoulders.
Extreme Close Up (ECU) - Answer shows the object with very tight framing
Extreme Long Shot (ELS) - Answer Shows the object from a great distance.
Usually is the establishing shot.
Dolly Shot - Answer a shot in which the camera is moved on a wheeled dolly that
follows a determined course. Also called Trucking or Tracking.
Crane Shot - Answer a shot taken from a camera mounted on a crane that can
vary distance, height, and angle.
High Angle Shot - Answer shooting talent/object with the camera high in the air,
pointing down at an angle.
Low Angle Shot - Answer Shooting talent/object with the camera low, pointing up
at an angle.
Bird's Eye View - Answer A shot in which the camera photographs a scene from
directly overhead.
Straight On Shot - Answer A framing where the camera is at the same level as the
objects or scene filmed.
Tilt - Answer A stationary camera moves up or down along a vertical axis.
