,available - ✔✔Equal to and less than ( 6 reactions with 3 equilibrium equations is
statically INDETERMINATE)
What is static friction? - ✔✔It's the force that prevents an object from changing from a
stationary state to the object being in motion
How many Pascals are in 1 MPa? - ✔✔1,000,000
What is a design-build project delivery method? - ✔✔The project owner hires one
company that will handle the building, designing, and the hiring of the trade
subcontractors. Often used in large projects where expedited project completion is
highly important e.g. dam repair, bridge repair, etc
What is a design-bid-build project delivery method? - ✔✔The project owner hires the
designer company and the builder company separately. And the builder company hires
the trade subcontractors. This is the simplest and most common method
What is a construction manager agency (CMA) project delivery method? - ✔✔The
project owner hires the designer company and the builder company separately, like D-
B-B. However, the builder company also advises the owner how the owner should
handle contract with the designer company.
Which of the following statements best describes steel-beam column members?
A. Steel beam-column members support axial compression loading and bending effects
B. Steel beam-column members only support axial compression loadings and no
bending effects
C. Steel beam-column members do not exist - ✔✔A
What does a non disclosure agreement typically ask for its signees to do? - ✔✔To keep
secret details about the project that could jeopardize the client's interests

C. Carbon emission costing
D. Accelerated construction cost - ✔✔B.
If a licensee has no conflict of interest with a service provided, but it may appear that
there is a conflict of interest, is the licensee still required to disclose it to their clients or
employees? (Y/N) - ✔✔Yes
Engineers may issue subjective statements if such statements are indicated as so (T/F) -
✔✔False. Licensees shall be objective and truthful in professional reports, statements, or
testimony.
What is a sunk cost - ✔✔a cost that has already been paid and cannot be recovered
What are variable costs? - ✔✔Costs that vary based on production volume
Every state in the US has its own coordinate system (T/F) - ✔✔True. Every state has its
own state plane coordinate system.
