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

11. Every other coarse and repeats itself






12. Runner Bond and Raking Stretcher Bond






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






14. Rock deposited in a molton state






15. (2500psi) (17.25 mpa) High Strength mortar - High lateral - compressive loads - severe frost action - Below grade






16. Rubble and Coursed






17. 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






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






19. Is a layer / bricks wide a wall is






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






21. 1 horizontal row of Brick






22. Deposited by action of water or wind






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






24. Are porous






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






26. Weakest in most masonry wall

30. Header - stretch - header






31. Stood up rowlock






32. Made up of squared pieces (rectangular blocks)






33. Fieldstone and Rubble Stone






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






35. Mortar Joint - Moisture Resistance and Extreme Temperature Construction






36. Rectangle of clay Flat on all sides






37. Running bond every so many coarse






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






39. Negligible Weathering - Indoor sheltered applications






40. Solid - Cored - Hollow and Frogged






41. Rock deposited in a molton state






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






43. (30psi) (2.40) Medium Low Strength - Non load bearing interior.






44. Are porous






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






46. Looks like running bond but made from headers






47. Stood up rowlock






48. Moderate Weathering / Mild / Lower grade strength durabillty






49. Stacked on top






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