    A wall designed to prevent the spread of fire, having a fire resistance rating of not less 4 hours with sufficient structural stability to remain standing even if construction on either side collapses under the fire condition.

    • Fire zone

    • Permit

    • Firewall

    • Structure

    Correct Answer
    A. Firewall
    Explanation
    A firewall is a wall designed specifically to prevent the spread of fire. It has a high fire resistance rating of not less than 4 hours, meaning it can withstand fire for a significant amount of time. It also has sufficient structural stability to remain standing even if construction on either side collapses during a fire. Firewalls are an important safety measure in buildings as they help contain fires and protect adjacent areas from the spread of flames and smoke.

    A building permit can be suspended or revoked if authorized work is abandoned after it has been commenced for a period of not less than 120 calendar days. This means that if construction work on a building project is halted or left unfinished for a continuous period of 120 days or more, the building permit may be revoked or suspended by the relevant authorities. This is likely to ensure that construction projects are completed in a timely manner and to prevent abandoned or unfinished buildings from posing safety hazards or becoming eyesores in the community.

    Parking dimension for standard truck.

    • 9 m x 3 m

    • 3 m x 12 m

    • 3 m x 18 m

    • 3.6 x 18 m

    Explanation
    The correct answer is 3 m x 12 m. This dimension provides enough space for a standard truck to park comfortably. A truck typically requires a length of around 12 meters to park, as it is longer than a regular car. The width of 3 meters is also sufficient for a truck to maneuver and park without any issues. Therefore, the dimensions 3 m x 12 m are suitable for parking a standard truck.

    A. Arcade
    Explanation
    An arcade is a covered walkway or passageway with arches along one or both sides. It is typically found in urban areas and often connects buildings or serves as a sheltered area for pedestrians. In this context, an arcade fits the description of a portion of a building above the first floor that projects over the sidewalk, providing protection for pedestrians against rain or sun. Canopies, accessoria, and awnings may also provide protection, but they do not necessarily involve a covered walkway or passageway with arches like an arcade does.
