Question

It is advisable to use nomograms for determining the design of buildings up to __________ storeys only.

(a) 2

(b) 3

(c) 4

(d) 6

I got this question in an interview for internship.

Question is taken from Structural Design of Walls topic in section Load Bearing Walls of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(b) 3

Nomograms are typically used for determining the design of buildings up to 3 storeys. For buildings taller than that, more detailed analysis and structural calculations are required due to the increased complexity of load distribution, lateral forces, and other factors that influence structural behavior.
