, What are the 4 principles of basecamp planning? - ✔✔Scalability, Standardization,
Sustainability, Survivability
What are the steps to the basecamp development planning process? - ✔✔Initiate
preliminary planning, Location selection, Land Use Planning, Facility Requirements
Development, General Site Planning, Design Guide Phasing & Construction,
Maintenance & updates, Cleanup/Closure/Archive
What are the steps to the construction project phasing model? - ✔✔Construction Project
Phasing Model: the subphases of the design guide, programming, and construction step
of BCDPP. Initial project planning, preliminary construction planning, detailed project
planning, final planning and project turnover, project execution and monitoring, and
final project transfer and closeout.
When would you use the BCDPP vs the master planning steps? - ✔✔Master planning
steps are used for bases on US soil, base camp development planning process (BCDPP)
is for in-theatre construction.
What are the components of concrete? - ✔✔Water, Portland Cement, aggregate,
admixtures, and air
True or false: The purpose of adding rebar is to make concrete stronger under
compression. - ✔✔False, concrete is strong under compression, rebar helps make
concrete stronger under tension.

✔✔Hydration
What are the two types of reinforcement for concrete? - ✔✔Structural Steel (rebar):
designed to reinforce concrete against forces from static and dynamic loads.
Temperature and shrinkage steel (wire mesh): designed to prevent surface cracks as the
concrete dries and endures temperature changes.
