CIVIL EPRI TEST QUESTIONS AND ALL ANSWERS
CORRECT (NEW)
The earthquake ground motion is the ANSWER that determines the reaction of
the soil structure interaction.
The profile of the surrounding soil
The actual structure
Minimal or nonexistent soil-structure interaction ANSWER: base motion is
same to distant ground motion
The structure is light and surface-founded.
established on tough soil or rock
For example. single-story structure
Strong Soil Interaction: ANSWER: Ground motion at a distance differs from
base motion.
- enormous construction
Partially buried in the earth
A deposit of soft earth
For example. is the containment of
Soil Stability: Bedrock or constructed backfill
Backfill substance
The quantity of compaction needed
The following should be included in SSI: ANSWER: Variation of soil
parameters with depth
Uncertainties in the characteristics of soil
The soil's material nonlinear behaviour
Potential interaction with nearby structures
SSI definition-ANSWER Major buildings are designed using this definition as a
foundation.
, Weight on subterranean walls is one of the soil-structure considerations for an
above-ground storage tank.
It is necessary to install footings.
The backfill needs to be accurate.
Rain is one of the external flooding sources.
Flooding
Wave run-up
Excavations: ANSWER: Prepare the site by following the right excavation plan,
which includes backfilling properly and avoiding penetrating the clay cap.
