Questions and Answers

A: A: Assumes a hierarchy that isn't stated; many projects reverse this in the index. B: Creating your own geometry breaks traceability and QA. C: The index usually defines controlling documents; the mismatch is a formal hold point. D: Scale doesn't grant authority; late changes must be issued, not implied.

A: A: Torque checks say otherwise, and cone failure shows different crack geometry. B: Early loading on green grout gives radial cracking without anchor distress. C: Shrinkage cracking isn't centred on base plates. D: Settlement would repeat across the grid, not isolate to loaded columns.

A: A: 610 UB sections sit around 140–170 kg/m; 12 m lands near 2 t. B: 300 kg/m fits heavy plate girders, not rolled UB. C: Underestimates by halving typical mass. D: Plate girder logic applied where the drawing shows a UB callout.

A: A: Chlorides consume zinc uniformly in marine air. B: Same material pairing, no galvanic couple shown. C: MIC needs stagnant moisture and nutrients, not open stairs. D: Sulphates target concrete, not exposed steel.
