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. Brick with holes in em (Better gripping strength)






2. Igneous Rock - Sedimentary Rock and Metamorphic Rock






3. Rock deposited in a molton state






4. Severe weathering - Harsh Winter - Springs - Summer






5. Stood up rowlock






6. Stacked on top






7. 2nd Monolithic






8. Running bond every so many coarse






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






10. Cut Stone and Asklar






11. Lintel - Sill Block and Keystone






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






13. Moderate Weathering / Mild / Lower grade strength durabillty






14. Mortar Joint - Moisture Resistance and Extreme Temperature Construction






15. Rubble and Coursed






16. Stacked on top






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






18. Single Wythe Wall and Double Wythe Wall






19. 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






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






21. Normal way to lay a brick






22. (30psi) (2.40) Medium Low Strength - Non load bearing interior.






23. Weakest in most masonry wall






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






25. Moderate Weathering / Mild / Lower grade strength durabillty






26. (1800psi) (12.4 mpa) Medium High Strength - High Flexural - bond strength - only 4 normal compressive loads






27. Deposited by action of water or wind






28. Rock deposited in a molton state






29. Soft Mud Process - Dry Mud Process and Stiff Mud Process






30. Every other coarse and repeats itself






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






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






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






34. Looks like running bond but made from headers






35. Rectangle of clay Flat on all sides






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






37. Mortar Joint - Moisture Resistance and Extreme Temperature Construction






38. (750psi) (5.17) Medium Strength - General use above grade.






39. Cut Stone and Asklar






40. SW - MW and NW






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






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






43. Soft Mud Process - Dry Mud Process and Stiff Mud Process






44. (2500psi) (17.25 mpa) High Strength mortar - High lateral - compressive loads - severe frost action - Below grade






45. Header - stretch - header






46. 1 horizontal row of Brick






47. Are porous






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






49. Lintel - Sill Block and Keystone






50. Made up of squared pieces (rectangular blocks)
