  A: Water Proofing 2- What are the main factors to be controlled prior to the application of waterproofing materials? Explain each factor with reasons.  Main Factors for Application:  1. Elevation.   a.%1-3 elevation  b. Enough number of water outlets for water discharge  c. No ponding  2. Surface  a. Concrete / Screed (Strong, Dust-free, and Solid)  b. Humidity (measured before the application and for product selection)  3. Square meters (higher square meters increase the importance of crack bridging)  a. 0 - 100 m2 (Cement – Acrylic - Polyurethane)  b. 100 – 600 m2 (Acrylic - Polyurethane)  c. Above 600 m2 (Polyurethane)  d. Dilatation Detail (Should be studied separately)  4. Purpose of Use  a. Load Bearing (vehicle - load)  b. Green Area  c. Pedestrian Use or No Use Area  3- What are the differences between waterproofing techniques done on the screed and over the screed? What type ...

 Building Loads, Primary Components of Buildings and Structural Systems and Types Building Loads: Dead Load- the weight of the structure, immovable fixtures like wall, carpet, and roof. Snow Load- designed for a load of snow and ice Live Load- Humans or movable furniture Rain Load- designed for a load of rain Dynamic Load-  people, wind, wave, earthquake Wind Load-   Structural Design Terminology * Tension  *Compression *Shear *Torsion *Moment: turning effect Buttresses: supporters Masonry Materials: Load Bearing Wall systems: Geodesic Domes Vaults
