80) A ___________ is a structural component that provides resistance to bending when a load or force is applied. These beams are
commonly used in bridges. A beam of this type has more than two points of support along its length. These are usually in the same
horizontal plane, and the spans between the supports are in one straight line.
81) Remember that in almost all cases, the framing system we used in most part of Philippines is SMRF since we are an earthquake prone
region. In the 2nd printing, NSCP 2015 now allowed 200 mm minimum girder from the previously 250 mm. This has a lot of cost implications.
The previous 250 mm made may architects bit angry especially when your project is a typical residential one. With this new provision, for
sure it will be a great relief. However, let’s not forget that implementation of this minimum dimension should be carefully observed since
many recent earthquakes prove too strong for very small beam and column dimensions.
A. 150 mm
B. 200 mm
C. 175 mm
D. 300 mm
82) As per NSCP 2015, bars larger than a _______ diameter shall not be bundled in beams.

bar, ________ for a three-bar bundle, and _________ for a four-bar bundle.
A. 20 percent, 33 percent
B. 30 percent, 43 percent
C. 40 percent, 53 percent
