Essential Questions 3.1
1. How do you know when the design you’ve chosen for a site is the correct one?
-You know the design is the correct one when you have done thorough research of the area that you are designing for.
2. As a developer for the site, how does knowing about past owners and the uses of the property help you develop the site?
-Knowing about the past owners and the uses of this site can help you develop the site by allowing you to know how the past owners took care of the land and also what needs to be fixed or hidden things that might cost you more money.
3. In what ways do the view of a site, its terrain, the solar aspects, wind, and sound influence site orientation?
-The view of a site, its terrain, the solar aspects, wind, and sound influence the site orientation you have to know what its purpose will be and what its needs are in order to work it.
4. How does knowing about current neighbors help you in developing a site?
-Knowing about the current neighbors helps you develop the site by knowing about possible fees that you must pay to live there and use certain things or keep those things repaired.
5. What difference does it make if you do or do not abide by the regulations and requirements for developing and building property?
-You can receive huge fines for doing this and also they can make the building unusable.
6. What regulatory agencies should you know? Why is it important to work with them in preparing to develop property?
-The zoning committees and building committees should work with you to be part of the city.
7. Zoning is not a requirement in all localities. How does zoning help or hinder land development?
-Zoning can help the land development by allowing your structure to be in an area where it is able to fit in with, and if not it could hinder the land development by placing a house in an industrialized area.
8. The environment is affected when land is developed. How does an environmental impact study help or hinder a developer in preparing to develop property?
-An environmental study on the development would insure that the chosen area is a good place to build, but also could hinder the surrounding environment if there are habitats living there.
9. What do wetlands, covenants, and prior ownership have to do with site selection?
-The wetlands are usually not looked at because the soil is very weak and you can't construct much of anything good on it and if you did it would be very expensive. Also, prior ownership could result in not knowing what the prior owner has done to the property and is not telling you.
10. How did completing a traffic analysis around the property help in providing information about the property?
-A traffic analysis can tell you how noisy the traffic is that passes your area.
11. As an owner of the property, what issues were of concern to you and may affect the development of the property after you completed the viability analysis?
-The viability analysis would show things such as, prior owners, treatment of the land, soil analysis, and the past history of the development.
12. What is the relationship of regulations to the viability analysis?
-The relationship of the regulations to the viability analysis is that the more regulations you have, the more problems will occur with the viability analysis.
-You know the design is the correct one when you have done thorough research of the area that you are designing for.

Essential Questions 6.4.1
1. How do weight and applications of loads affect the design of a structure?
-You must know how heavy the loads are that are going to be in the rooms so you can build a strong material to hold it up.
2. What are the factors that determine if soil is suitable to support a structure?
-The strength of the soil, if it is loose or hard soil, and if it will change due to the weather.
3. How does the various load types, soil bearing capacities, and drainage influence the design of a foundation?
-What is being placed on the foundation such as a skyscraper or a shed. The soil bearing capacity determines weather your foundation will sink straight into the ground.

Essential Questions 6.3.1
1. If a beam bends in one direction, what is the effect on the column?
-If a bending is exerted on the joint portion. A tensile force and a compressive force are exerted on the connector, causing the column flange to be locally deformed, with the outside surface thereof becoming concave. Consequently, this structure cannot ensure sufficient rigidity for the joint portion.
2. If a column compresses too severely, how does that affect a beam?
-It could cause the beam to eventually break.
3. In the design of a column and beam system, what are the geometric and physical principles that must be considered for safety and sustainability of a structure?
-The stability and the strength of the type of the shape. The length, width, and height of the beams.
4. What information is provided in column schedules? What additional information is needed in designing a column and beam bracing system?
-The type of columns and the number of columns.

Essential Questions 6.2
1. How are trusses able to span large distances?
-Trusses are able to span large distances because they are used in triangles and each member can be assigned to work in a network of tension and compression members, and by doing this, greater structural efficiency is possible.
2. What do I have to understand in order to use mathematics to predict truss strength?
-In order to use mathematics to predict truss strength, you have to understand trigonometry and how the forces act on the joints.
3. How are different roof styles and pitches related to different architectural styles?
-Different roof styles are a significant difference in the architectural styles such as the cubic style of architecture; cubic architecture has a low pitched roof that is recognizable from others.
4. What is the effect of different materials on the strength of a rafter or a truss?
-Different materials have different properties such as the allowance to bend and the mass, some materials may be stronger than others, but can be much heavier.
