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. Every other coarse and repeats itself






3. Negligible Weathering - Indoor sheltered applications






4. Igneous Rock - Sedimentary Rock and Metamorphic Rock






5. Looks like running bond but made from headers






6. Are large slabs






7. Fieldstone and Rubble Stone






8. Weakest in most masonry wall






9. Weakest in most masonry wall






10. Stretcher - header - stretcher






11. Cut Stone and Asklar






12. Normal way to lay a brick






13. (1800psi) (12.4 mpa) Medium High Strength - High Flexural - bond strength - only 4 normal compressive loads






14. Rubble and Coursed






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






16. End of the block






17. Deposited by action of water or wind






18. End of the block






19. Stacked on top






20. Stood up rowlock






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






22. Stood up rowlock






23. SW - MW and NW






24. Header - stretch - header






25. 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






26. (2500psi) (17.25 mpa) High Strength mortar - High lateral - compressive loads - severe frost action - Below grade






27. Fieldstone and Rubble Stone






28. 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






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






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






31. (2500psi) (17.25 mpa) High Strength mortar - High lateral - compressive loads - severe frost action - Below grade






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






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






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






35. Single Wythe Wall and Double Wythe Wall






36. Severe weathering - Harsh Winter - Springs - Summer






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






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






39. Are porous






40. (30psi) (2.40) Medium Low Strength - Non load bearing interior.






41. Stacked on top






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






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






44. 1st CO






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






46. Rock deposited in a molton state






47. Are porous






48. Is a layer / bricks wide a wall is






49. Bigger hole / add rebar






50. Are large slabs
