Masonry Basics

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Either igneous or sedimentary has been transformed by heat and pressure into a diff types of rock






2. Every other coarse and repeats itself






3. (30psi) (2.40) Medium Low Strength - Non load bearing interior.






4. (2500psi) (17.25 mpa) High Strength mortar - High lateral - compressive loads - severe frost action - Below grade






5. 2nd Monolithic






6. 2nd Monolithic






7. Are large slabs






8. Limited spanning capability / small opening in brick walls each brick sticks out more






9. Stretcher - header - stretcher






10. Course - Wythe - Stretcher - Header - Rowlock - Soldier and Corbel






11. Weakest in most masonry wall






12. Brick with holes in em (Better gripping strength)






13. Limited spanning capability / small opening in brick walls each brick sticks out more






14. Either igneous or sedimentary has been transformed by heat and pressure into a diff types of rock






15. Stacked on top






16. Looks like running bond but made from headers






17. Stretcher - header - stretcher






18. End of the block






19. Horizontal Reinforcing - Joint - Grout - Bond Beam - Vertical Reinforcing - Surface Bonding and Severe Seismic Zones or High Impact load






20. Normal way to lay a brick






21. Stood up rowlock






22. Running bond every so many coarse






23. Severe weathering - Harsh Winter - Springs - Summer






24. Rubble and Coursed






25. Bigger hole / add rebar






26. (1800psi) (12.4 mpa) Medium High Strength - High Flexural - bond strength - only 4 normal compressive loads






27. Lintel - Sill Block and Keystone






28. 1st CO






29. Fieldstone and Rubble Stone






30. Stacked on top






31. Are porous






32. Be a Brick across multiple withs flat or on it's side






33. Runner Bond and Raking Stretcher Bond






34. Stood up rowlock






35. Economical - Fast Install - Strength - Versatile






36. Negligible Weathering - Indoor sheltered applications






37. Made in molds taken directly from real stone - Thin material - 1 1/2 Inches think - made of light weight concrete dried to match the coloration - of the authentic stone that its meant to imitate






38. Moderate Weathering / Mild / Lower grade strength durabillty






39. Severe weathering - Harsh Winter - Springs - Summer






40. Header - stretch - header






41. 3rd Today






42. Single Wythe Wall and Double Wythe Wall






43. Economical - Fast Install - Strength - Versatile






44. Cold Weather - Dry Ingredients - Accelerate Cure - Batch Size - Enclosures and Heat






45. Cut Stone and Asklar






46. Horizontal Reinforcing - Joint - Grout - Bond Beam - Vertical Reinforcing - Surface Bonding and Severe Seismic Zones or High Impact load






47. Rough building stone that is obtained from riverbeds and rock strewn fields






48. Igneous Rock - Sedimentary Rock and Metamorphic Rock






49. Made in molds taken directly from real stone - Thin material - 1 1/2 Inches think - made of light weight concrete dried to match the coloration - of the authentic stone that its meant to imitate






50. Will over lap the one below it by half the dimension over laps 1/3 of the brick
