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. Are porous






2. Stretcher - header - stretcher






3. Bigger hole / add rebar






4. Runner Bond and Raking Stretcher Bond






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






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






7. Lintel - Sill Block and Keystone






8. Rock deposited in a molton state






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






11. Fieldstone and Rubble Stone






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






13. Deposited by action of water or wind






14. Header - stretch - header






15. Fieldstone and Rubble Stone






16. Are large slabs






17. Deposited by action of water or wind






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






19. Running bond every so many coarse






20. Runner Bond and Raking Stretcher Bond






21. (750psi) (5.17) Medium Strength - General use above grade.






22. (2500psi) (17.25 mpa) High Strength mortar - High lateral - compressive loads - severe frost action - Below grade






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






24. Running bond every so many coarse






25. Rock deposited in a molton state






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






27. Severe weathering - Harsh Winter - Springs - Summer

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






35. (1800psi) (12.4 mpa) Medium High Strength - High Flexural - bond strength - only 4 normal compressive loads






36. Rubble and Coursed






37. Igneous Rock - Sedimentary Rock and Metamorphic Rock






38. Looks like running bond but made from headers






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