Discussion
Consider the following statements about construction risk.
1. Partly built structures are more vulnerable than finished ones.
2. A shorter construction period reduces the exposure to storms.
3. Construction conditions are always the same as design conditions.
Answer: A
Correct answer: 1 and 2 only
Statements 1 and 2 are correct: a partly built mound with its core exposed and no armour placed is far more vulnerable than the completed structure, and shortening the exposure reduces the chance of meeting a damaging storm. Statement 3 is wrong - construction is checked against a separate and usually much lower return period condition, chosen for the season and duration of the works.
