Preview Questions Civil Engineer | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: When conducting a site inspection for a foundation, what critical element should be checked before placing the first layer of concrete?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The aesthetic design of the foundation

The lighting and ventilation on-site

The soil compaction and leveling

The number of workers available

Question 2: What is the key difference between structural steel and mild steel in construction?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Mild steel is more corrosion-resistant

Structural steel has higher tensile strength and is used in load-bearing applications

Mild steel is used in reinforced concrete

Structural steel is used only for non-load-bearing elements

Question 3: How does the complexity of the design influence construction risks?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

A more complex design increases the likelihood of design errors, construction delays, and the need for specialized labor, raising risks

Complex designs decrease risk by allowing for greater flexibility in execution

A more complex design has no impact on risk, as long as budget and schedule are managed

Complex designs are irrelevant when risk assessment is focused on material supply

Question 4: In managing construction contracts, what is the purpose of the "project scope"?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It defines the specific deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities of all parties involved

It evaluates the environmental impact of the project

It tracks the financial performance of the project

It ensures compliance with legal requirements

Question 5: What is a "contingency plan" in the context of risk management in construction projects?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

A legal framework for handling contractual disputes

A set of actions designed to address possible unexpected events during the project

A set of temporary solutions to reduce project costs

A financial reserve kept for unforeseen risks

Question 6: How does "carbon fiber" reinforcement compare to traditional steel reinforcement in concrete structures?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Steel reinforcement provides better crack resistance than carbon fiber

Steel is always stronger than carbon fiber, especially under compression

Carbon fiber offers higher tensile strength and lighter weight, improving the structure's performance

Carbon fiber is cheaper and more durable than steel
