A structure located in Zone III must be proportioned using a zone factor equal to

  • A.0.36
  • B.0.16
  • C.0.10
  • D.0.24

Answer: B

Correct answer: 0.16

Zone III carries a zone factor of 0.16, the second lowest of the four.

It covers a wide band of the country, including Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Kerala and Goa, so it is the zone most Indian urban construction is designed for. The four values - 0.10, 0.16, 0.24, 0.36 - are worth committing to memory as a set, since a great many design questions turn on nothing more than reading the right one and dividing it by two.
