Question

Which of the following can be considered key structural design practices that simplify future maintenance and cleaning work?

Select one:

1. Design connections to minimise the risk of incorrect assembly

2. Design safe access for roof-mounted plant for ongoing plant and roof repairs

3. Specify materials that are easy to handle and, as far as practical, are readily available e.g. lighter weight building blocks

4. Use non-corrosive materials, as far as practical, within the design

5. A and B

6. A, B and C

7. A, B and D

8. All of the above

Answer 1

solution is posted below.

hope it helps.

1: it is included in design to simplify the construction it has nothing to do with maintenence work.

2: safe access to roof is a key element so that maintenece become easy to perform. hence this point is included in simplifying future maintenece and repair work.

3: light weight of material used is considered while designing out health hazard. hence it is not the part of future proofing of maintenece.

4: usage of non corrosive material can be a option to reduce future maintenence but it in not always true non corrosive material would require maintenece too. hence it is not the case which will always be true.

hence option 2 only complies with the simplifying future maintanence and repair work.
