1. Considering seismic loads and coastal soil conditions, what type of reinforced concrete technology and composition would you recommend for the foundation and why? 2. What construction methods and types of steel would you consider most appropriate for the building columns to maximize seismic safety and how do these relate to the materials chosen for the foundation? 3. When designing roofs, how would you ensure that the selected material meets structural and energy efficiency requirements? What innovative solutions could be incorporated? 4. How can walls contribute to the seismic resistance of the building and what additional considerations should be taken into account due to the coastal climate? 5. In relation to wood finishes, what strategies would you implement to ensure their durability and resistance to the environment without compromising aesthetics? 6. For metal finishes, how can you ensure a selection that balances corrosion resistance, sustainability and cost?

What exactly is geopolymer concrete?
Concrete precast buildings are less common in regions where there are earthquakes because: Question 3 options: concrete is relatively heavy which creates large forces when subjected to ground shaking the connection between precast members can have limited strength that may not be adequate for seismic forces the code limits the types of precast building in regions of high seismic regions all of the above
