1. What is the rafter?
Rafter - One of a series of structural members of a roof designed to support roof loads.
2. What is the header?
Header - Horizontal structural member that supports the load over an opening, such as a door or window.
4.What are the basic requirements for buildings?
All the buildings and structures must be designed and constructed in the manner prescribed by law and in accordance with the rules of technical expertise, ensuring the fulfillment of the basic requirements:
- construction safety,
- safety in case of fire,
- safety of utilization,
- appropriate health and hygiene conditions and to protect the environment,
- protection against noise and vibration,
- energy saving and thermal insulation baffles (i.e. walls, roof, ground)
5.What is the structural model?
Structural model - idealization of the structural system used for the purposes of analysis, design and verification.
6.What are the limit states?
Limit states - states beyond which the structure no longer fulfils the relevant design criteria.
7.What is the ultimate limit state?
Ultimate limit states - states associated with collapse or with other similar forms of structural failure.
8. What is serviceability limit states?
Serviceability limit states - states that correspond to conditions beyond which specified service requirements for a structure or structural member are no longer met.
9. Give an example of the effect of actions.
Force cause bending moment.
10. What is the design working life (in year) for building structures?
50 years

3. What is the definition of buildings?
Meaning of Building: Anything erected by art, and fixed upon or in the soil, composed of different pieces connected together and designed for permanent use in the position in which it is so fixed.
A fabric or edifice designed to stand more or less permanently, enclosing a space within its walls, and usually, but not necessarily, covered with a roof.
