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. Negligible Weathering - Indoor sheltered applications






2. Runner Bond and Raking Stretcher Bond






3. (30psi) (2.40) Medium Low Strength - Non load bearing interior.






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






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






6. Rectangle of clay Flat on all sides






7. SW - MW and NW

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. Made up of squared pieces (rectangular blocks)






24. Is a layer / bricks wide a wall is






25. Cut Stone and Asklar






26. Every other coarse and repeats itself






27. Economical - Fast Install - Strength - Versatile

38. (1800psi) (12.4 mpa) Medium High Strength - High Flexural - bond strength - only 4 normal compressive loads






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






40. Economical - Fast Install - Strength - Versatile






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






42. Every other coarse and repeats itself






43. SW - MW and NW
