Section A
Q1. (a) Provide a complete list of the documents which an applicant is required to submit to a planning authority in order to make a valid planning application, and briefly explain the function of each of the documents. (7 marks)
(b) Outline in brief your views on the Cork County Council Rural Design Guide. ( 5 marks)
(c) Itemise the main guiding principles in relation to site layout contained in the Cork County Council Rural Design Guide. (5 marks)
(d) Using the guiding principles in relation to site layout contained in the Cork County Council Rural Design Guide, provide a site layout sketch for a dwelling on a south-facing slope, with the site below the road. Indicate clearly on the sketch the position of the house and the relative positions of all ancillary works (eg. garage, septic tank, etc.) and explain your reasons for choosing each of the locations (include landscaping in your sketch). (8 marks)
Q2. (a) What is a Safety Statement and what should it be based on? (3 marks)
(b) Define the term hazard. ( 2 marks)
(c) Define the term risk. ( 2 marks)

(f) Define the term competent person. (3 marks)
(g) Outline two Enforcement Notices that a health and safety inspector can serve on an employer and explain their function. (5 marks)
RESULTS AND CALCULATIONS
The truss dimensions are as shown in the diagram below.
Using the results and the truss data given, carry out the following:
- Determine the member forces using the methods of joints for each load increment at U 2. (20 marks)
- Convert the recorded strain readings to member forces, to compare with forces from above. (strain x E = stress and stress x cross-sectional area = force) (18 marks)
(E = 205 kN/mm^2 for steel and cross-sectional area = 656mm^2 )
OBSERVATIONS
Compare the forces data obtained from the method of joints process and the results calculated from the strain readings.
What percentage error in the theoretical forces appeared to be likely? (7 marks)
Were the differences safe or unsafe? (5 marks)
