A

53°

38
Q

39
Q

What is a T panel

A

Where a T is in the concrete wall

40
Q

Waler bars, that was used in the shop practicum what must the bars overlap?

Must overlap plywood edges but not necessary have to overlap other bars

41
Q

To maintain a maximum deflection of 1:400 for architectural concrete the support supply would forms applies must have to be closer together than?

A

16 inch on center

42
Q

What’s the difference between a single and a double Waler?

A

The single Waler: there’s no studs, so the walers go directly on the sheathing where on the double it would go on top of the studs.

43
Q

Single Waler system automatically normally uses vertically sheathing panels and horizontal panels when this is done. Walers are required at all….. Panel joints

A

Horizontal

44
Q

The double Waler system uses horizontal panels, vertical studs and horizontal walersm studs are required at all…… Panel joints

A

Vertical

45
Q

Reinforcing bars, the rebar must be at least 3 in clear from the ground and

A

50 mm / 2 in clear from the sides of the footing form

46
Q

In the BC building code requirements that a footing must be at least 4 in thick and the projection should not exceed the footing thickness what does this mean?

A

If the projection is 18 in then the depth of the depth needs to be 18 in

47
Q

What angle are keyways?

A

15 to 20° and the blackout is coated with form oil

48
Q

When making footings what’s a footing ladder

A

Building footings forms with pre-built lighters is faster and more accurate than simply simple forms. The ladder consists normally 2 in boards held together and space the part by cleats. Top cleats are normally wooden usually 1x4. Bottom cleats, if needed are often made with metal bandings or straps. Bottom cleats made from wood make the lighters easy to remove and easy to place when wooden 1x4 straps left under the concrete footings will rot and this is not good practice

49
Q

How do you figure out the circumference of a circle?

A

Pie * diameter equals circumference

50
Q

How do you figure out the area of a circle

A

Pi times radius times radius.

Pie x radius2

The area of a circle is pi times the radius squared (A = π r²)

51
Q

How do you determine the volume of a column.

A

You figure out the radius.
Pi * radius times radius equals area of a circle 🔴

(🔴 Area of a circle)X the height of the column will equal volume.

52
Q

Board feet calculation

A

Each board foot is 144 cubic inches of lumber. 12 * 12 * 1 contains one board foot.

Board foot is abbreviated as bfm or BM.

53
Q

How do you figure out how many tires and brackets do you need using the center line for a single Waler system

A

Centerline Preimeter, divided by the spacing of studs 16 on center and multiply by the number of rows of ties

54
Q

What order should the carpenter use when planning the form layout

A

Corners and t-panel locations, then steps, full panels and infill.

55
Q

For what height of foundation wall does WCB require certification by a p.eng?

A

4 m / 13 ft

56
Q

Is the p.eng required to clarify gang form drawings

A

Yes

57
Q

If the design is required to be certified by p.eng., one must the inspection be done by the p.eng?

A

Immediately before placement of concrete or other intended loadings

58
Q

What is architectural concrete

A

Surfaces that will be left exposed to view

59
Q

What is the serious drawback by using fiber form tubes for column forms

A

They can only be exposed limitedly to getting wet

60
Q

When estimating for material how much should you allow for up to waste

A

Typically around 5%

61
Q

What nails should be used for and cream bulk outs, bulkheads, strong backs and walers

A

Duplex nails

62
Q

Form panels should be attached by using what type of nail?

A

Typically engine 3/4 finishing nails are usually adequate for holding panels as the ties are giving strength to the forms. As often removing larger nails damages the forms

63
Q

A single sided form over 2 m 6 ft in height does it require the work to be clarified

A

Yes inspection required

64
Q

Do most residential construction drawings include formwork information?

A

No, did they do show footing and foundations wall size and location. Excavation May reveal the need for a step footing and for needing for taller than expected foundation walls

A

Architectural concrete

66
Q

What is the most common column shape
