  4. May difference ba sa size ng table na ginagamit at table na hindi ginagamit? Because, why would you allocate a space for an 8-seater table kung hindi nmn gagamitin dba?

  5. ang split type at window type ay ginagamit lang po sa isang room or area,may tanong po sa exam kung ilan ton po ang gagamitin sa isang room or area.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Structural Conceptualization -Pre-cast concrete -ASTM 36 -Retaining Wall -Pile Foundation -Isolated Footing with tie beam

    ung pagcompute po ng ton ng ac gumamit po ako ng 700CFM TO 800CFM X area divided by 12,000 btu safe na po un.

    ang AHU ay air handling unit dibale nasa loob po ito ng ceiling tas may duct para suplayan ung mga rooms, may roon siya outdoor unit compressor
    sa labas ng bldg kinakabit or sa roofdeck, ganun din po ang FCU fan coil unit
    pagmalaki ang bldg or mataas at gusto ng centralized airconditioning, cooling tower po ang ginagamit. pede rin ang packaged unit kaya lang depende sa area di tulad ng cooling tower pangmalakihan at mataas na bldg.

    kung tutuusin madali lang po ang exam,ang nagpapahirap ay ung halos pare-pareho ang sagot at saka tricky at situational lahat.kaya dapat basahin ng
    ng ilang beses at intindihin ,highlight ang magic word or underline para madali maalala

    wala po tinanong sa sizes ng pipes, intercolumnation, history of philippines architecture,kahit mga pyramids wala po. ung mga binigay ko tips un po ang lumabas sa exam.may mga estimates din po ng interior material and cmu or chb and paints

    advantages of truss of over rafter

    Utilities -Air ducts -Air handling unit (AHU) -Cable Trays -Live room

    ang natatndaan ko sa column ? kapag 8-10m ang span, anung size dw ang nsa 4th flr, gorund flr?

    sa history wala binigay tungkol sa philippines architecture ie. buildings,churches, archt old bldgs.wala rin bahay na bato or bahay kubo

    accessory hardware na ginagamit sa fire door exit. a)push plate b)automatic openning c) one lever handle d)panic device

    Fransworth archt? mies van der rohe

    sa housing law wala po ako natandaan, puro situational ang mga tanong more on construction.

    meron po tanong sa accessibility law i.e. size of elevator. toilet un lang alam ko binigay

    binigay din po yang question na yan commonly finished of stainless steel. pagpipilian bronze finish, brushed finish, satin finish.

    may tanong sa ano daw ang gagamitin mo sa paginstall ng floor drain. a)45deg elbow. b)90deg elbow c) p trap , d)none of the listed. sagot po p-trap

    tricky kaya basahin maigi highlight ninyo ung NOT ,NOT ALLOWED. TO AVOID yan kasi ang nakakalito sa tanong

    tanong s grease trap/p trap

    i suggest to read more on building construction, specially ung wala pa background sa site supervision.most of the questions are situational and very

    green architecture madami binigay

  9. be familiar in concrete cover..may situation na tinanong kung ano ang concrete cover sa column na malaoit sa seaport.
    yung concrete cover depende sa klase ng concrete, if cast in place ba, pre stressed or manufactured kaya depende sa situation.
    tapos depende din if san nakalocate, if exposed to weather, exposed to earth etc.
    depende tlaga kung pre-cast or cast in place,but since exposed sya sa earth and weather i choose 75mm,please read NSCP
    Download nyo yung NSCP2010,under sya section ng concrete.
