CEM 301 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS WITH
100% CORRECT ANSWERS
If a pipe installation activity takes one week to complete 1,000 linear feet, the
productivity of the activity is:
500 linear feet per day
200 linear feet per day
5,000 linear feet per week
400 linear feet per hour - Answer-200 linear feet per day
The time buffer can be:
Duration of the predecessor - duration of the successor
Duration of the predecessor / duration of the successor
Duration of the successor - duration of the predecessor
Duration of the predecessor + duration of the successor - Answer-Duration of the
predecessor - duration of the successor
Linear schedules can be used only for horizontal construction such as highways,
utilities, and so forth.
True
False - Answer-False
An activity in a linear schedule usually is represented by a line which shows
the rate of expenditures on the project, usually dollars per day
the direction of the activity, usually north, south, east, or west
the ratio of workers to supervisors on the activity
the productivity of the activity, typically distance over time. - Answer-the productivity of
the activity, typically distance over time
A predecessor activity has a lower rate of productivity than a successor activity. In order
to avoid a clash, the following option may be available to the project engineer:
Allow the successor activity to proceed to finish the project earlier.
Stopping the successor activity so the predecessor activity can get ahead
Decreasing the productivity of the successor activity
, Increasing the productivity of the predecessor activity - Answer-Stopping the successor
activity so the predecessor activity can get ahead
Decreasing the productivity of the successor activity
Increasing the productivity of the predecessor activity
Construction projects have no risks.
True
False - Answer-False
Risks can be handled by all except:
Mitigate
Delegate
Manage
Debate - Answer-Debate
Supervisor's opinion of percent complete is a ______________ measure.
Objective
Iterative
Subjective
Successive - Answer-Subjective
When a project is updated, the critical path may change either in route or length.
True
False - Answer-True
An example of units completed measures is:
Inches over foot
Roof over foundation
Feet over mile
CYDs excavated over total CYDs planned - Answer-CYDs excavated over total CYDs
planned
Project controls include each of these except:
Superintendent opinion
Owner's opinion
Incremental milestones
Time or cost ratio - Answer-Owner's opinion
An engineering design firm does not need to know how to control a project (the develop
of the design of a building or highway).
