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. Lintel - Sill Block and Keystone






2. Fieldstone and Rubble Stone






3. Mortar Joint - Moisture Resistance and Extreme Temperature Construction






4. 2nd Monolithic






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






6. Are porous






7. Negligible Weathering - Indoor sheltered applications






8. Are large slabs






9. 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






10. Stacked on top






11. Moderate Weathering / Mild / Lower grade strength durabillty






12. Solid - Cored - Hollow and Frogged






13. (2500psi) (17.25 mpa) High Strength mortar - High lateral - compressive loads - severe frost action - Below grade






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






15. Header - stretch - header






16. Severe weathering - Harsh Winter - Springs - Summer






17. (30psi) (2.40) Medium Low Strength - Non load bearing interior.






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






19. Economical - Fast Install - Strength - Versatile






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






21. Bigger hole / add rebar






22. Every other coarse and repeats itself






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






24. (1800psi) (12.4 mpa) Medium High Strength - High Flexural - bond strength - only 4 normal compressive loads






25. SW - MW and NW






26. Rubble and Coursed






27. Negligible Weathering - Indoor sheltered applications






28. (2500psi) (17.25 mpa) High Strength mortar - High lateral - compressive loads - severe frost action - Below grade






29. Made up of squared pieces (rectangular blocks)






30. Soft Mud Process - Dry Mud Process and Stiff Mud Process






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






32. Looks like running bond but made from headers






33. Running bond every so many coarse






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






35. SW - MW and NW






36. Stacked on top






37. Runner Bond and Raking Stretcher Bond






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






39. Soft Mud Process - Dry Mud Process and Stiff Mud Process






40. Is a layer / bricks wide a wall is






41. Economical - Fast Install - Strength - Versatile






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






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






44. Rock deposited in a molton state






45. Cut Stone and Asklar






46. 2nd Monolithic






47. Mortar Joint - Moisture Resistance and Extreme Temperature Construction






48. Is a layer / bricks wide a wall is






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






50. (1800psi) (12.4 mpa) Medium High Strength - High Flexural - bond strength - only 4 normal compressive loads
