Armenia Engineer Attestation study plan

Explain how seismic zonation maps convert into design peak ground acceleration and site factors for the main soil categories.

Compute equivalent-static base shear for three different building heights and cross-check each result against the normative minimum lateral force limits.

Differentiate ductility classes and behaviour factors, then justify the class selected for a cast-in-place reinforced concrete frame.

Identify the ten most frequent seismic detailing errors in beams, columns and joints, and state the corrective detail for each.

Apply the technical regulation hierarchy (law, government decision, code, standard) to decide which document governs a given seismic design question.

Check one masonry and one steel-braced building for plan and vertical regularity, torsional eccentricity and drift limits, recording every criterion that fails.

Lay out shear walls and their reinforcement for a nine-storey concrete building so that capacity design and confinement rules are satisfied.

Interpret the provisions on seismic isolation and energy dissipation and judge the building types and sites where each is permitted.

Size and reinforce a flat-slab, a beam-and-slab and a shear-wall concrete system, then compare material quantities per square metre of floor.

Perform a second-order (P-delta) check and a column buckling verification for a six-storey steel moment frame.

Verify bearing capacity and design lintels for a masonry wall under gravity plus seismic load combinations.

Select and size shallow and piled foundations from a load take-down, checking bearing pressure and allowable settlement.

Compile a structural design basis document stating loads, load combinations, material properties and the analysis methods accepted for the project.

Trace the permit-to-occupancy chain for a residential building and name the document issued at each stage of the process.

Distinguish the legal roles and responsibilities of the designer, the technical supervisor and the licensed contractor during construction.

Prepare a complete permit application checklist covering every item of design documentation the authority requires.

Outline contractor licensing and attestation requirements, including which categories of work demand which licence class.

Draft a site-specific occupational safety plan covering work at height, excavation, lifting operations and temporary electrical installations.

Build a technical supervision schedule that names inspection points, hold points and the acceptance documentation required for a concrete frame.

Explain post-acceptance liability and warranty rules, and identify the categories of defect that trigger them.

Map each standard material test (concrete cubes, rebar tensile, weld inspection, soil compaction) to its sampling frequency and acceptance criterion.

Write concrete acceptance and curing procedures that hold up under both hot-weather and cold-weather placing conditions.

Detect nonconformities in a set of test reports you assemble yourself and issue the matching corrective instruction for each finding.

Compare fire-resistance requirements for structural elements and apply them to a specific multi-storey building.

Size cold water supply, drainage and gas piping for a 60-apartment building and verify the result against flow and pressure limits.

Select heating and ventilation systems and compute heat loss through the envelope of a typical apartment.

Build a resource-based cost estimate covering labour, materials and machinery for one structural work package.

Apply normative price indices and explain the order in which overhead, profit and value added tax are added to the base cost.

Audit a project programme for sequencing, resource and inspection conflicts, then re-sequence the critical path to remove them.

Sit two full-length mixed mock exams under exam timing and score each one by domain.

Re-drill the two weakest domains identified by the mock results until each scores 75% or higher.

Recite from memory the legislation and normative documents most likely to be cited in an oral attestation answer.
