What .is .effective .seismic .weight .- .correct .answer.All .of .the .structural .dead .load .plus: .
1) .25% .live .load .for .storage .areas .(5% .for .parking .structures)
2) .10 .psf .for .partitions
3) .20% .of .roof .snow .load .if .flat .roof .snow .load .>30 .psf

Ingredients .in .Portland .cement .- .correct .answer.limestone, .clay, .iron .ore, .and .gypsum

When .can .you .take .advantage .of .arching .action .in .a .masonry .lintel? .- .correct
.answer.When .the .height .of .the .wall .above .the .lintel .is .greater .than .the .clear .span .+

.bearing .length .(Aka .effective .length)




If .arching .action .cannot .be .used .for .a .masonry .lintel, .what .kind .of .loads .are .imposed? .-
.correct .answer.The .entire .weight .of .the .wall .above .the .lintel .must .be .included .in

.calculations.




Equation .for .calculating .r .for .masonry .columns .(h/r) .values .- .correct .answer.b/sqrt(12)
.where .b .is .the .width .of .the .masonry .unit




When .dont .masonry .beams .need .to .be .checked .for .deflection? .- .correct .answer.span
.length .< .8*(effective .depth)




Should .clay .bricks .be .pre-wet .when .absorption .rates .are .high .or .low? .- .correct
.answer.High




What .is .the .wall .weight .and .moment .when .taking .advantage .of .arching .action .in .a
.masonry .lintel? .- .correct .answer.w .= .(Ywall)*(twall)*(effective .width/2)




M .= .(wL^2)/12

The .load .is .triangular .with .a .height .of .half .the .effective .width

How .is .a .bearing .angle .measured? .- .correct .answer.North .or .South .dominant, .then
.measured .East .or .West .of .the .cardinal .directions

, Equation .for .vehicle .Peak .Hour .Factor .(PHF) .- .correct .answer.PHF .= .Total .hourly
.volume/ .(peak .15-min .volume*4)




The .higher .the .PHF, .the .more .constant .vehicle .flow

Equation .for .vertical .distribution .of .seismic .shear .- .correct .answer.Fx .= .(wx .* .(hx)^k) ./
.SUM(wi .* .hi)




h .= .height .of .floor
w .= .weight .assigned .to .the .floor
K .=1 .for .T<0.5
K=2 .for .T>2.5

A .column .must .withstand .shear .forces .from .its .own .floor .and .those .above .it.

Tributary .Height .for .effective .seismic .weight .per .story .- .correct .answer.Neglect .floor .1,
.Floor .2 .is .half .the .weight .below .and .half .the .weight .above. .Roof .is .half .the .weight .below

.but .any .roof .loads.




What .kind .of .masonry .bonds .are .required .for .SDC .C,D,E? .- .correct .answer.Running
.bonds




Equation .for .moment .of .inertia .of .a .pile .group .- .correct .answer.I .= .n .* .(s^2/12) .* .(n^2-1) .*
.(# .of .rows)




n .= .number .of .piles .per .row
s .= .spacing
*note .rows .are .taken .perpendicular .to .the .axis .of .interest

Equation .for .force .in .a .pile .if .the .group .is .eccentrically .loaded .- .correct .answer.F .= .(P/n) .+
.((My .* .Cy)/Iy) .+ .((Mx .* .Cx)/Ix)




Cx .and .Cy .are .the .distance .from .the .axis .to .the .location .of .the .pile

Mx .and .My .are .moments .caused .by .the .eccentric .loading

How .do .you .calculate .one .way .shear .in .a .footing? .- .correct .answer.Calculate .qmax .and
.qmin. .Find .q .at .a .distance .d .away .from .the .column .face. .Calculate .the .shear .force .at .the

.location .from .the .pressure .distribution.




According .to .IBC .1909, .if .an .anchor .does .not .meet .spacing .or .embedment .requirements,
.what .should .you .do? .- .correct .answer.Reduce .the .capacity .by .the .ratio .of .provided

.spacing .to .required. .Maximum .reduction .of .50% .is .allowed
