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. Stacked on top






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






3. (750psi) (5.17) Medium Strength - General use above grade.






4. Is a layer / bricks wide a wall is






5. Stood up rowlock






6. Normal way to lay a brick






7. SW - MW and NW






8. Every other coarse and repeats itself






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






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






11. Negligible Weathering - Indoor sheltered applications






12. Stacked on top






13. Are large slabs






14. Stretcher - header - stretcher






15. Weakest in most masonry wall






16. Running bond every so many coarse






17. Rock deposited in a molton state






18. Fieldstone and Rubble Stone






19. Mortar Joint - Moisture Resistance and Extreme Temperature Construction






20. 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






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






22. (1800psi) (12.4 mpa) Medium High Strength - High Flexural - bond strength - only 4 normal compressive loads






23. Deposited by action of water or wind






24. Igneous Rock - Sedimentary Rock and Metamorphic Rock






25. Rubble and Coursed






26. Severe weathering - Harsh Winter - Springs - Summer






27. Made up of squared pieces (rectangular blocks)






28. Looks like running bond but made from headers






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






30. Weakest in most masonry wall






31. Consists of irregular quarried fragments that have at least one good face to expose in a wall






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






33. (30psi) (2.40) Medium Low Strength - Non load bearing interior.






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






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






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






37. Running bond every so many coarse






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






39. Bigger hole / add rebar






40. End of the block






41. Mortar Joint - Moisture Resistance and Extreme Temperature Construction






42. Header Bond - Stack Bond - Flemish Bond - Monk Bond - English Bond and Common Bond or American Bond
