height
Minimum number of stories recommended to be provided with at least 3 approved recording
accelerographs. - (ANSWER)14
Maintenance and service of accelerographs shall be provided by the___. - (ANSWER)Owner
Who shall be responsible for keeping the actual live load below the allowable limits and
Occupant of the building shall be liable for any failure on the structure due to overloading. -
(ANSWER)Occupant of the building
The period of continuous application of a given load or the aggregate of periods of intermittent
application of the same load. - (ANSWER)Load duration
Minimum area in square meters a member supports which the design live load may be reduced. -
(ANSWER)14 sqm.
Minimum height of any wall requiring structural design to resist loads onto which they are
subjected. - (ANSWER)1.50 mts.
Maximum deflection of a brittle finished wall subjected to a load of 250 Pascal applied
perpendicular to said wall. - (ANSWER)1/240 of wall span
Maximum deflection of a flexible finished wall subjected to a load of 250 Pascal applied
perpendicular to said wall. - (ANSWER)1/120 of wall span
,Maximum floor area for a low-cost housing unit - (ANSWER)60 sqm
The level at which the earthquake motions are considered to be imparted to the structure or the
level at which the structure, as a dynamic vibrator, is supported. - (ANSWER)Base
A member or an element provided to transfer lateral forces from a portion of a structure to
vertical elements of the lateral force resisting system. - (ANSWER)Collector
A horizontal or nearly horizontal system acting to transmit lateral forces to the vertical resisting
elements, it includes horizontal bracing system - (ANSWER)Diaphragm
The total designed lateral force or shear at the base of a structure - (ANSWER)Base Shear, V
An element at edge of opening or at perimeters of shear walls or diaphragm. -
(ANSWER)Boundary Element
An essentially vertical truss system of the concentric or eccentric type which is provided to resist
lateral forces. - (ANSWER)Braced Frame
An essentially complete space frame which provides supports for gravity loads. -
(ANSWER)Building Frame System
A combination of a Special or Intermediate Moment Resisting Space Frame and Shear Walls or
Braced Frames. - (ANSWER)Dual System
That form of braced frame where at least one end of each brace intersects a beam at a point away
from the column girder joint. - (ANSWER)Eccentric Braced Frame (EBF)
The entire assemblage at the intersection of the members - (ANSWER)Joint
, The horizontal member in a frame system, a beam - (ANSWER)Girder
An element of a diaphragm parallel to the applied load which collects and transfers diaphragm
shear to vertical resisting elements or distributes loads within the diaphragm. Such members may
take axial tension or compression. - (ANSWER)Diaphragm Strut
The boundary element of a diaphragm or a shear wall which is assumed to take axial stresses
analogous to the flanges of a beam - (ANSWER)Diaphragm Chord
Those structures which are necessary for emergency post-earthquake operations. -
(ANSWER)Essential facilities
That part of the structural system assigned to resist lateral forces. - (ANSWER)Lateral Force
Resisting System
Moment resisting space frame not meeting special detailing requirements for ductile behavior. -
(ANSWER)Ordinary Moment Resisting Space Frame
The displacement of one level relative to the level above or below. - (ANSWER)Story Drift
The usable capacity of a structure or its members to resist loads within the deformation limits
prescribed in this document. - (ANSWER)Strength
The lower rigid portion of a structure having a vertical combination of structural system. -
(ANSWER)Platform
Horizontal truss system that serves the same function as a diaphragm. - (ANSWER)Horizontal
Bracing System
An assemblage of framing members designed to support gravity loads and resist lateral forces. -
(ANSWER)Structure
