ECCC GE Exam questions with verified answers
1 horsepower Ans✓✓✓ 746 watts
6 steps to scheduling Ans✓✓✓ Establish milestones
Define activities
List tasks
Determine sequence
Estimate time
Build, review, and revise the schedule (GANTT CHART)
Absolute Volume Method Ans✓✓✓ mathematically based
AFCS Hierarchy Data Ans✓✓✓ Super Component, component, facility,
construction activity, resources/NSN
Air Meter Ans✓✓✓ 4-6%
Airfield Clearance: Ans✓✓✓ if engineers are to accompany the assault
force; special consideration must be given to the type and quantity of
obstacles on the runway; bulldozers and mine detectors can be
dropped in the initial assault
,Airfield seizure: Ans✓✓✓ executed to clear and control designated
airstrip; purpose can be to allow follow-on airland forces to conduct
transload operations or to establish a lodgment in order to continue
combat operations from that location
Analytical bridging classification Ans✓✓✓ gives permanent MLC that
can be posted; requires a USACE engineer; accurate; gives high MLC;
takes multiple recon trips and a deliberate recon
Base Camp Classification Ans✓✓✓ Based on duration, purpose, and
size
Base Camp Principles (the 4 S's) Ans✓✓✓ Scalability: tolerate
population changes and incorporate changes
Sustainability: maintain effectiveness without strain
Standardization: fast and to standard
Survivability: maintain combat fire
Base Camp Standards Ans✓✓✓ Initial
Temporary: 5 years
Semi-permanent: 10 years
Component: Ans✓✓✓ group of one or more facilities designed to
provide a specific service. There are over 200 AFCS components
, Concrete is composed of Ans✓✓✓ Concrete is composed of Portland
cement, water, aggregates, air, admixtures
Concrete Quality Control Ans✓✓✓ slump, moisture deformation on
the sand, air meter, cylinders or beam
Construction activity: Ans✓✓✓ specific construction task subordinate
to a larger construction project. Self contained unit that identifies costs,
parts/materials, types and amount of labor, equipment, construction
specifications and any associated drawings required to complete the
constructed task. Smallest work item level in the hierarchal database
Current working estimates Ans✓✓✓ Latest and most accurate cost
estimate
Continuously updated throughout the project to reflect real and
projected costs
Includes all cost associated with project
Used to analyze costs and control design decisions to keep the project
within the approved funds and scope
