NBC 102 NBC 105 NBC 206 NBC 302 What is the main purpose of the u2018Mandatory Rules of Thumbu2019 (MRT) provisions in Nepalu2019s building codes? To replace all detailed structural design permanently To provide simplified, prescriptive guidelines for low-rise buildings so they can be built safely without full structural analysis To set aesthetic standards for building facades To regulate only electrical wiring in buildings In structural engineering, the u2018factor of safetyu2019 is best described as... The number of workers required on site for safety A ratio comparing a materialu2019s ultimate or yield strength to the actual working stress it will experience, to account for uncertainties The minimum height of a safety railing A fixed value of 1.0 used for all materials The slump test performed on fresh concrete is used to measure... The compressive strength of hardened concrete The workability (consistency) of fresh concrete The setting time of cement The water content of aggregates only Generally, reducing the water-cement ratio in a concrete mix (while keeping other factors constant) tends to... Increase strength but reduce workability Decrease strength and increase workability Have no effect on strength or workability Increase both strength and workability equally Why is continuing professional development (CPD) emphasized for licensed engineers? It is only a formality with no real benefit To help ensure engineers keep their knowledge and skills updated with evolving codes, technology, and practices It replaces the need for an engineering degree It is required only for engineers working abroad If an engineer identifies a personal or financial conflict of interest on a project, professional ethics require that they...
