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. Mortar Joint - Moisture Resistance and Extreme Temperature Construction






2. Are large slabs






3. (1800psi) (12.4 mpa) Medium High Strength - High Flexural - bond strength - only 4 normal compressive loads






4. Solid - Cored - Hollow and Frogged






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






6. Cut Stone and Asklar






7. Deposited by action of water or wind






8. Are large slabs






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






10. Normal way to lay a brick






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






12. (750psi) (5.17) Medium Strength - General use above grade.






13. Weakest in most masonry wall






14. Made up of squared pieces (rectangular blocks)

16. 2nd Monolithic






17. Header - stretch - header






18. Are porous






19. Weakest in most masonry wall






20. Igneous Rock - Sedimentary Rock and Metamorphic Rock






21. Economical - Fast Install - Strength - Versatile






22. Header - stretch - header






23. Every other coarse and repeats itself






24. (2500psi) (17.25 mpa) High Strength mortar - High lateral - compressive loads - severe frost action - Below grade

27. Is a layer / bricks wide a wall is






28. 1st CO






29. 2nd Monolithic






30. Single Wythe Wall and Double Wythe Wall
