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

Beams that are part of the seismic force resisting system (concrete moment frames) often have about the same reinforcing at the top and bottom of the beam because: Question 1 options: earthquake forces can load the building in any horizontal direction the top reinforcement helps to confine the concrete when subjected to earthquake forces the "balanced" reinforcing distributes earthquake forces more evenly the added reinforcing steel gives the beam significant additional strength
