Lesson 3: Construction

How does infrastructure affect development plans? Infrastructure can have an effect on development plans due to not being upgraded, or even built correctly. Infrastructure may get in the way of where a current new building is going, etc. Desiree, an urban planner, has been asked to create a development plan for Ucal USA. The council wants her to include a stadium, convention center, and a mega mall. Because of the towns small roads, aging sewer and water, Desiree has reported that the town's __________ cannot support this development without a total renovation and upgrade.

Because of the towns small roads, aging sewer and water, Desiree has reported that the town's __________ cannot support this development without a total renovation and upgrade. A. infrastructure B. economy C. tax base D. people

What are examples of infrastructure? Examples of infrastructure include: Roads Bridges Water Supply Sewers Electrical Grids Telecommunications The underlying base or basic framework of a system is:

A. Infrastructure B. Underpinning C. understructure D. substructure

What is construction? In the fields of architecture and civil engineering, construction is a process that consists of the building or assembling of infrastructure. The rigging and digging crane company is moving a load of steel from a flat bed truck to a building structure. This is an example of transportation playing a role in what technology

A. Construction B. Communication C. Medical D. Agriculture

What is synthetic material? Synthetic materials are man- made: not of natural origin; prepared or made artificially; "man- made fibers"; "synthetic leather" Synthetic material is :

A. man-made B. grown C. found in the ground D. a compound

Concrete can be classified as: What are composite materials? Composite materials are engineered or naturally occurring materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties which remain separate and distinct within the finished structure. Examples include: wood, concrete, Wattle and daub, etc.

Concrete can be classified as: A. natural B. synthetic C. composite D. man-made

The process of designing and erecting structures are influenced by all of the following EXCEPT: What is the process of designing and erecting structures influenced by? Designing and erecting structures are influenced by: Cultural norms Environmental conditions Requirements of government

The process of designing and erecting structures are influenced by all of the following EXCEPT: A. cultural norms B. environmental conditions C. requirements of government D. personal preferences

What types of damage do storms cause? Storms cause damage to many things including: Buildings Roads Power Supplies These things are also known infrastructure. The recent storm and resultant massive flooding damaged certain transportation routes in the city. This damage made it nearly impossible for people to evacuate and emergency services to operate. In summary, the storm caused extensive damage to the:

What is layering? Layers are used in digital image editing to separate different elements of an image. A layer can be compared to a transparency on which imaging effects or images are applied and placed over or under an image. The process of placing a portion of an image onto a different image is called:

A. layering B. digital acquisition C. intaglio D. digital placement

What is infrastructure? Infrastructure is the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities (e.g., buildings, roads, and power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise Infrastructure is:

A. The basic framework of a system B. a working drawing C. a representative model D. the tallest building in a city

What type of factors to consider when designing a bridge? When designing a bridge it is important that engineers take into account a number of different factors. One of the most important factors they need to consider is: Before an engineer or bridge designer can adequately begin working on the design for a bridge, a substantial amount of information is needed: 1.A plan of the site to see all of the obstacles that has to be bridged 2.Requirements of the bridge 3.Weather and environmental conditions such as how fast water under the bridge is moving, etc. 4.The topography of the environment. 5.Local conditions like the accessibility for the transport of equipment, materials and structural elements that must be used for construction. 6.The environmental requirements regarding the aesthetic quality of the bridge which is about to be built. 7.Health and safety requirements

When designing a bridge it is important that engineers take into account a number of different factors. One of the most important factors they need to consider is: A. how fast the water is moving B. where the water originates C. the type of fish that live in the water D. how warm it gets in the summer
