Q

What should non-loadbearing partitions running parallel to floor joists be placed over?

A

Blocking

Whenever you install a partition parallel to the floor joists the bottom plate needs to have sufficient
bearing on the floor framing below to prevent deflection and weakening the floor system. Options A and
11/2”
C will only provide
of bearing, which is not enough. Option B will satisfy code, but option D is the
best answer because it gives your petition full support, while doubled up 2X joists will only give you 3” of
bearing.

Explanation :
To use the twelfths scale the total rise and total run are both divided
by 12, making the un 14.5” (representing 14.5’) and the rise 5.75”
(representing 5.75’). Whenever you use the twelfths scale, the square
will be moved 12 times because you will have broken the ratio for that
roof scale in 12ths

A

D, Apply mastic to the hanger, then insert joist

Explanation:
Option A will ensure that your connection is nailed properly according to the code, but the connection
could loosen slightly over time and squeaking can occur. Option B and C will not reduce squeaking in any
way. Only option D will work.

54
Q

When applying construction adhesive to the top of the floor joists what should happen at the end of a sheet, on the joist where two sheets butt together?

A

Apply two straight beads, one for each sheet

Options A and C are not preferable because in both cases glue will be in the gap between panels,
increasing the likelihood that it will squeeze out through the joint and cause an unneeded mess. Option D
won’t work because the ends should not be touching (a 23mm gap should be left between panels to
allow for expansion and contraction) so the glue will not be in contact with anything but air.

55
Q

as your unit run (17 is used for hip and valley rafters ONLY)

63
Q

How would you make the cut at the end of a cripple jack rafter?

A

Set saw at 45° and make A a single cheek cut

64
Q

What does a raised plate on a minor span indicate?

A

Unequal slope

While the presence of a minor span indicates that you are building an
intersecting roof, only an Unequal slope roof requires you to raise the plate
for your fascia to maintain a consistent height.

65
Q

What is the maximum distance an exterior wall may extend beyond its support?

A

1/3 width of plate

(2) The bottom plate in exterior walls shall not project
more than one-third the plate width over the support.

66
Q

Where is the optimum place to locate a collar tie?

A

Middle third

The purpose of using a collar tie is to help secure the rafters to the idge and resist the outwards force
cause by the live and dead loads that are placed on the roof throughout the year. The middle half is
optimum because it will reduce the span of the rafters the most, and still provide comfortable attic
access (lower third can create a tipping hazard).

67
Q

How do you calculate the actual length of the ridge board for an equal pitch hip roof?

A

Building length minus building width, plus the thickness of the ridge board.

For all commons, including the ones at either end of your ridge board (end or King commons), you need
to make a deduction of half the thickness of the ridge board prior to installation. Therefore, this
measurement will need to be added to the ridge board at either end. Because we are adding half the
ridge thickness twice, the overall addition ends up being one full thickness.

68
Q

How do you calculate the actual length of the ridge board for an equal pitch hip roof?

A

same as last one

Q

A string line and a brace are placed on the floor side of an exterior wall. How can this wall be brought in towards the string line?

A

By propping up under the center of the brace and forcing it upward.

Explanation:
Once the wall is raised, a brace is installed with a bow in it pointing
upwards. Pressing down on the middle will straighten out the bow and
move the top plate(s) outward, while forcing it upward will increase the
bend in the bow, moving the top plate(s) inward.

Q

Calculate the length of the lower cripple stud in the following situation:

Wall height= 8'1", 
Window size= 41"X37",
 Lumber thickness=  1  1/2"
Lintel size= 2 X 10 ,
 Double top plate, 
no upper cripple studs.
A

43 3/4”

Explanation:
First add up all your dimensions:
Window opening (height + 1/2" top and bottom) = 38"
Lintel size (2X10) = 9.25"
Double top plate = 3"
Window sill = 1.5"
Single bottom plate =+ 1.5"
53.25"
Next deduct those dimensions from the wall height to determine the length
of your cripple studs:
8'1"= 97"
73/4"
97" - 53.25" = 43.75" = 3'

Q

What are the minimum dimensions for an attic access that serves more than one dwelling unit?

A

550mm X 900mm

9.19.2. Access
9.19.2.1. Access
(1)Every attic or roof space shall be provided with an
access hatch where the attic or roof space,
(a) measures not less than,
(i) 10 m² in area,
(ii) 1 000 mm in length or width, and
(iii) 600 mm in height over at least the area
described in Sub clauses (i) and (ii), or
(b) contains a fuel-fired appliance.
(2) Except where an attic or roof space contains a fuel fired appliance, the hatch required in Sentence 1
shall
be not less than 550 mm by 900 mm except that, where
the hatch serves a single dwelling unit, the hatch may be
reduced to,
(a) 0.32 m2
in area with no dimension less than 545 mm,
or
(b) 500 mm by 700 mm.

Q

A beam for a basement is 17M long. It bears on the foundation at both ends by 100mm and has 5 evenly spaced intermediate support columns with bearing plates that are 140mm X 140mm. What is the quarter point length?

A

700mm

First, you will need to take the amount that the beam bears on the
exteior walls away from its length:
17M = 17000mm - 100mm - 100mm = 16800mm
Next you will need to divide the overall length by the number of
spaces to get your spans:
# of spaces = # of columns q1 = 5 + 1 = 6 spaces
16800 ÷ 6 = 2800mm span
To find your quater point, take your span and divide it by 4
2800mm ÷ 4 = 700mm

78
Q

What is the common difference in lengths of jacks spaced at 24” on center for a 1:1.2 roof slope?

A

31.24”

To find the common difference in your jack rafters, you need to determine your unit line length (ULL) and
then multiply it by your on center spacing(expressed in decimal feet:
Multiply both numbers by ten to get an Imperial roof ratio:

84
Q

What should be done with the end studs of a staggered stud partition?

A

They should be as wide as the top and bottom plates.

Explanation:
To ensure a that a wall is strong enough to carry the loads that it is
designed for, the beginning stud and end stud should be as wide as
the top and bottom plates so that the plates have full bearing at each end of the wall.

85
Q

If the double studs at the side of an opening have a slight crown, what can be done to straighten them out?

A

Place crowns in opposite direction and nail together.

Pointing your crowns in opposite directions will be the best option
because it will maintain an adequate wall thickness and improve the
walls appearance without wasting too much time and material.

Q

What is the minimum width that a beam pocket should be for a 4 ply built up wood beam?

A

7”

9.23.2.2. Protection from Decay
(1)Ends of wood joists, beams and other members
framing into masonry or concrete shall be treated to prevent
decay where the bottom of the member is at or below
ground level, or a 12 mm air space shall be provided at the
end and sides of the member.
(2) Air spaces required in Sentence 1 shall not be
blocked by insulation, vapour barriers or air tight materials
Because a 4 ply beam is 6” (152mm) wide, and you need to leave approximately 1/2” (12mm) of air space
on each side, the beam pocket size would be:
6” + 1/2” + 1/2” = 7”
or 152mm + 12.7mm + 12.7mm ˜ 178mm
