MOCK TEST

10.30 AM – 11.30 AM

1. Compute the differences between single and three phase electricity supply to the
buildings.

2. Assess the criteria of fire-resistant door as a passive fire protection element in preventing
flames and smoke from spreading within a building.

3. An office building of 20 floors above

4. the main terminal is to be built, each floor of 8000 m2 of net space. The inter-floor distance
is 3m. The required up peak interval is between 30s – 45s (i.e. satisfactory grade). Density
of population assume one person per 11 m2 of floor area and 17% for population peak
arrival rate.

Given:
No of Lift = 4 nos
Capacity of each car = 20 person
Lift speed = 2.5m/s.
Lift door width = 1.1m.
Lift door opening = 0.4m/s.

Determine the following information:

i. Persons per floor.
ii. Number of persons for peak demand for 5 minutes period.
iii. Total travel distance per lift
iv. Probable number of stops
v. Upward journey time
vi. Downward journey time
vii. Total door operating time
viii. Transit time between 2 floors
ix. Round Trip Time (RTT)
x. Handling capacity (person per 5 mins)
xi. Interval for each lift cars
xii. Justify the quality of services provided by the lift system.
xiii. What is the difference between quantity of services and quality of service?
