Question 1 1
/ 1 pts

What is the stiffness modifier to be used for slab-shell thin?

  
0.25

 
1

 
0.70

 
0.35

Question 2 1
/ 1 pts

Fill in the blanks.

In ETABS, when we assign slab type as __________, it only transfers

forces to Beam's supporting it and does not take part in load bearing. But
when we assign ___________slab element, they take part in load bearing
along with the load transfer to supporting beams. This reduces the
sagging moments in beams.

 
membrane, shell

 
shell, shell

 
shell, membrane

 
membrane, membrane

Question 3 1
/ 1 pts

______________is a horizontal element and the primary function in

ETABS is to bind the vertical elements rigidly without allowing any out-of-
plane deformation.
  
mass source

 
Response Modification Factor

 
P-delta

 
diaphragm

Question 4 Not yet graded

/ 1 pts

How can you describe your Capstone experience so far? State it in a

maximum of 2-3 sentences.

Your Answer:

My capstone experience so far was great because it helps me to visualize

what we are going to do in our actual profession. It helps me to push
through my limits and it brings out the best in me. I am also grateful to
have my groupmates because its a lot easier to work with them and even
we experienced stress, it is all worth it especially when we successfully
finished our defense. 

Question 5 1
/ 1 pts

What is the torsional constant for strength requirements of the beam

subjected to torque or twisting?

 
0.35

 
0.50

 
0

  
0.70

Question 6 1
/ 1 pts

What is ETABS stands for?

 
Extended 3D(Three-Dimensional) Analysis of Building Systems

 
External 3D(Three-Dimensional) Analysis of Building Systems

 
Expanded 3D(Three-Dimensional) Analysis of Building Structures

 
Extended 3D(Three-Dimensional) Analysis of Bigger Structures

Question 7 1
/ 1 pts

_________________ structures have certain physical discontinuities

either in plan or in elevation or both which affect the performance of the
structure subjected to lateral loads.

 
regular

 
irregular

 
High

 
Normal

Question 8 1
/ 1 pts
_________________ is conducted to obtain either a linear (elastic) or a
nonlinear (inelastic) structural response. When elastic analysis is
conducted, an empirical assessment of in- elastic response is made,
since the design philosophy is based on nonlinear behavior of buildings
under strong earthquakes.
