Structural Engineer Trainee Interview Questions and Answers

To reduce the quantity of steel in a PEB Structure, one can optimize the design, use high-strength materials, and employ efficient construction techniques.

• Optimize the design by using efficient structural systems such as trusses or space frames

• Utilize high-strength materials like high-strength steel or composite materials to reduce the amount of steel required

• Implement efficient construction techniques like prefabrication to minimize wastage and reduce the overall steel quant...read more

BMD and SFD are diagrams used to analyze the internal forces in a simple frame subjected to lateral/gravity load.

• BMD (Bending Moment Diagram) shows the variation of bending moment along the length of the beam.

• SFD (Shear Force Diagram) shows the variation of shear force along the length of the beam.

• For a simple frame subjected to lateral load, the BMD and SFD will show the maximum bending moment and shear force at the points of maximum deflection.

• For a simple frame subjected t...read more

SQL commands are used to manipulate and retrieve data from databases.

• SELECT - retrieve data from a database

• INSERT - insert data into a database

• UPDATE - update data in a database

• DELETE - delete data from a database

• CREATE - create a new database or table

• ALTER - modify the structure of a database or table

• DROP - delete a database or table

• JOIN - combine data from multiple tables

• GROUP BY - group data based on a specific column

• ORDER BY - sort data based on a specific column

Oops concepts in Java are the fundamental principles of object-oriented programming.

• Encapsulation - hiding the implementation details of a class from the outside world

• Inheritance - creating new classes from existing ones

• Polymorphism - the ability of objects to take on many forms

• Abstraction - focusing on the essential features of an object and ignoring the non-essential ones
