Q

One of the most common, and inexpensive and easy to complete tests to determine moisture Contant in concrete. It also gives results in the form of many foreign manufacturers use to determine if their product can be successfully installed. This test is made by placing a standard mass of calcium chloride below a plastic cover and sealing it to the concrete floor. After 60 to 72 hours, the calcium chloride is weighed to compare it with its pretest weight. Through a mathematical formula, the amount of moisture the calcium chloride absorbed is converted to the standard measure of pounds per 1000 ft.² or 24 hour period. One test should be conducted for every 500 to 1000 ft.² of slab area

Q

In this process, strongly alkaline cement begins to dissolve sand and rock within the concrete. The chemical reaction creates a gel like material that causes tremendous pressure in the pores of the concrete surface. This pressure, intern, can fuck off or blister floor finishes. The risk for this can be reduced by specifying aggregates that are not susceptible to this problem, using blue line segment, proper curing, and not finishing the concrete with a hard trowel service

A

The nap

217
Q

The total area to be covered is calculated, modified by and I know it’s for waste and deductions for doors, windows, and other areas not to be covered. Then, the area covered by one roll or a bolt of wall covering is divided into the total area to determine the number of rolls or bolts needed. This method is useful for wallpaper and for situations in which the cost must be found based on price per roll. This method can also be used for commercial vinyl wall covering. 

A

The square footage method

218
Q

Which is more accurate the square footage method or the strip method

A

The strip method

219
Q

Also called the drop method or the strip count method, the total perimeter of the room is calculated in inches and then divided by the width of the role of wall covering material. This gives the number of strips needed. This number is multiplied by the height of the ceiling to get the number of linear feet or linear meters. The linear footage can be converted to linear yards or the total number of rolls, if necessary. The strip method works for any with the wall covering it does not require memorizing or calculating how many square feet can be covered by a roll of a given width. This method is based on price per yard. This is the case for commercial wall covering, which is typically sold by the yard, not by the roll

Q

What are the steps in the square footage method for rolls of wall covering less than 54 inches wide

A
  1. calculate the perimeter of the room in feet.
  2. multiply the perimeter by the height of the walls to be covered to get the total amount of area required in square feet
  3. To the area found in step two, add an extra 20% for waste
  4. calculate the area of the doors, windows, and other features that will not be covered. 15 ft.² for one door opening or two windows is a common room of thumb
  5. subtract the area in step four from the area in step three. This is the total area of wallpaper needed
  6. Divide the area per roll of wallpaper into the area found in step five to determine the number of rolls needed. A roll of 27 inches wide wallpaper contains 36 ft.². The more commonly used double row contains 72 ft.² round fractions to the nearest whole number

Q

How wide is a European or metric roll of wall covering

A

20.5 inches

222
Q

How long is a single metric roll of wallpaper

A

 16.4 feet

223
Q

A type of pattern in which there are no elements that must line up from one strip to another, any two adjacent strips will match however they are aligned

A

Random match

224
Q

The distance from a point in the design to the next place directly above or below it where the same point in the pattern is repeated

A

A pattern repeat

225
Q

Elements repeat horizontally, and each strip starts at the ceiling line at the same place in the pattern.

A

Straight match or straight across match

226
Q

Type of pattern in which design elements drop down each time they are repeated, so that they appear to repeat on a diagonal.

A

Drop match

227
Q

The most common type of drop match in this type of pattern, the design elements drop from one strip to the next by half the distance of the pattern repeat. Every other strip starts at the ceiling line at the same place in the pattern.

A

Half drop match

228
Q

How do you estimate wallpaper with a pattern repeat in an assumed half drop match

A

1.Divide the height of the wall to be covered in inches by the distance of the pattern repeat in inches. Round fractions up to the nearest whole number
2. multiply the result by step one by the distance of the pattern repeat in inches. This is the modified ceiling height, or working height, to use in the remainder of the calculation. Convert inches to feet by dividing by 12.
3. Multiply the modified ceiling height by the perimeter of the room
4. Follow the steps three through six in the square footage method

Q

How does calculating vinyl wall coverings differ from calculating wallpaper

A

Vinyl wall covering is sold by the linear yard, so calculations are based on linear yardage rather than rolls. Second, most commercial wall coverings have a width of 54 inches. This is wider than most doors and windows, so no deduction is made for most openings. Deduction should only be made if there is an area wider than 54 inches

230
Q

The total of the opening size, the stacking space, the return, and any overlap of two sections of drapery, and the amount of fullness of the drapery

A

The total fabric width

231
Q

What does the total fabric with the divided by the basic role with the fabric determine

A

The number of fabric panel widths needed

232
Q

A combination of opening size or desired length of the finished drapery, the header at the top where the fabric is pleated, and the hem of the bottom

A

Cut length

233
Q

The measure of how much of the fabric is taken up and pleading. There are two common ways of expressing this. It can be given as the ratio of the fabric whip before pleading to that after pleading, such as 2 to 1 or it can be given as the amount of fabric taken up including expressed as a percentage of the finished with it. Thus, if a panel is 6 feet wide before pleading and 2 feet wide after pleading, the fullness of the drapery is 3 to 1 or 200%

A

Fullness

234
Q

What are the three standard fullnesses of draperies

A

100%, 150%, and 200%

235
Q

Should you include a waste factor when calculating drapery fullness for the exam

A

No

236
Q

The space needed on either side of the window so that when the drapery is fully open, it is clear of the window. The space needed is generally the width of the window opening divided by three

A

Stacking space

237
Q

The distance from the wall to the drapery rod. These are generally 3 inches to 3 1/2 inches deep

A

Return

238
Q

The amount the two portions of the drapery overlap when closed in a center drawn system. This is usually 6 inches.

A

Overlap

239
Q

What is the formula for finding fabric width

A

Drapery width times fullness factor

240
Q

What is the formula for determining the total width of the finished drapery needed

A

Window whip + stacking space + return + overlap

241
Q

What is the formula for determining the number of panels needed for drapery

A

Fabric width divided by panel width

242
Q

The amount of fabric used in finished edge at the bottom

A

Hem

243
Q

The amount used in the finished edge at the pleated top of the drapery

A

Header

244
Q

For the exam, how should you find where draperies should be hung

A

Use the window height +10 inches

245
Q

How do you determine the number of linear yards of fabric needed

A

(Number of panels)(Cut length)/36 inches per yard
