Introduction to Construction Methods, Materials and Techniques
1. Describe in detail the sequence of building and site design in accordance with this chapter; what comes first in building design and then what follows? Remember to provide who provides the design at each sequence.
2. What is the purpose served by foundations?
3. What is a column? What kinds of forces are a column subjected?
4. What is a beam? What building elements typically support beams?
5. What is a transverse load? Students will have to find the answer elsewhere (not provided in the reading).
6. What types of materials are the structural frames in question Nos. 3 and 4 made?
7. What is a tension fabric structure?
8. What are the various types of enclosing walls in common use?
9. Provide a definition for building systems.
10. What are the various types of building systems required?

Estimate the number of days
: If daily water demand is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 5 ml and a standard deviation of 1.25ml: Estimate the number of days in a (365 day) year on which daily consumption is:

Approximately normal with equal variances
: Construct a 95 % confidence interval for μ1-μ2 with the sample statistics for mean calorie content of twobakeries' specialty pies and confidence interval construction formula below. Assume the populations are approximately normal with equal varia..

Create a thread job that runs the job routine
: Create a thread job that runs the job() routine, and three threads CPU-1, CPU-2, and CPU-3 each runs the cpu() routine. Each CPU thread blocks when the ready queue is empty, and job thread blocks when the queue is full

Define the term most selective access path for a query
: Suppose that you are building a DBMS and want to add a new aggregate operator called SECOND LARGEST, which is a variation of the MAX operator. Describe how you would implement it.

Sampling distribution of the sample
: Suppose the population proportion is 0.60. If the sample size is equal to 20, what is the sampling distribution of the sample proportion, 'p-hat'?

Compute the mean and standard deviation
: Compute the mean and standard deviation of the hourly wages.

What happens to the volume of trade
: Show that country can gain from trade even if country does not change its production point.- What happens to the volume of trade as the country's position shifts from that shown in part a to that shown in part b ?
