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. Thin slabs of stone that are used for flooring and paving either rectangular or irregular in outline






2. Solid - Cored - Hollow and Frogged






3. Every other coarse and repeats itself






4. Single Wythe Wall and Double Wythe Wall






5. (2500psi) (17.25 mpa) High Strength mortar - High lateral - compressive loads - severe frost action - Below grade






6. Runner Bond and Raking Stretcher Bond






7. (750psi) (5.17) Medium Strength - General use above grade.






8. 1 horizontal row of Brick






9. Severe weathering - Harsh Winter - Springs - Summer

14. SW - MW and NW






15. Rock deposited in a molton state






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






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






18. Mortar Joint - Moisture Resistance and Extreme Temperature Construction






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






20. Weakest in most masonry wall






21. Economical - Fast Install - Strength - Versatile
