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. Made up of squared pieces (rectangular blocks)






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






3. Weakest in most masonry wall






4. Single Wythe Wall and Double Wythe Wall






5. Fieldstone and Rubble Stone






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






7. Stood up rowlock






8. Every other coarse and repeats itself






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






10. Igneous Rock - Sedimentary Rock and Metamorphic Rock






11. (750psi) (5.17) Medium Strength - General use above grade.






12. Deposited by action of water or wind






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

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






25. (1800psi) (12.4 mpa) Medium High Strength - High Flexural - bond strength - only 4 normal compressive loads






26. 1st CO






27. 2nd Monolithic






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






29. (1800psi) (12.4 mpa) Medium High Strength - High Flexural - bond strength - only 4 normal compressive loads






30. Solid - Cored - Hollow and Frogged

39. Every other coarse and repeats itself






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






41. (30psi) (2.40) Medium Low Strength - Non load bearing interior.






42. Fieldstone and Rubble Stone






43. Moderate Weathering / Mild / Lower grade strength durabillty






44. Looks like running bond but made from headers






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