Q
  1. An excavation for a 12” deep footing has been flooded by 6” of water for several days. What
    needs to be done in order to place concrete?
A

Pump out the water, excavate mud to undisturbed soil.

The footings and foundation walls were designed based on the bearing capacity of the undisturbed soil
at the bottom of the excavation. As soon as the soil was saturated with water it’s bearing capacity was
reduced. Unless the mud is removed after pumping out the water, the building will sink/ shift
unpredictably and possibly fail structurally.

Q
  1. The main floor of a house has 13 interior doors and 2 exterior doors. Allowing 7’ for side
    casings and 3’ for head casings, how many linear feet of material would you need to tim these
    doors?
A

476’

For inteior doors, we will need to multiply our total by 2, because we will be timming both sides. For
exteior doors we only install the casing on the inside:
First calculate your total number of sets of casing:
13 inteior doors X 2 sets per door) + exteior doors(inside only)= 26 + 2
= 28 sets
Next, calculate how many linear feet you will require for each set:
3’ + 7’ + 7’= 17’ per set
Finally, multiply the number of sets by the linear feet per set to determine your total linear feet:
28sets X 17feet/set= 476’

59
Q
  1. How many cubic yards of concrete is needed to build a silo with
    the following specifications?

Inner radius= 72’7”
Outer radius= 74’3”
Height= 125’

A

3,5589 yd³

First, convent your measurements into decimal feet:
inner radius= 72’7” = 72.58333333’
outer radius= 74.25’
Next, add your outer radius to your inner radius and divide your
answer by 2 to determine the measurement from center of silo to the
center line of the curved wall:
72.58333334q74.25’ = 146.8333334’ t2 = 73.41666667
Next, take your new measurement and use it to find the
circumference of the silo(the length of the wall in linear feet):
Co 2pr = 23.141673.41666667’)= 461.2916’
Next, determine your wall thickness, and multiply it by your length
and height to determine your volume in cubic feet:
Length = 461.2916’
Thickness = 74’372’7 = 20” ÷ 12 inches/foot = 1.666667’
Height = 125’
Volume = 461.2916’ X 1.666667’ X 125’ = 96,102.41666667 ft³
Finally, divide your cubic foot total by 27 to convert it into cubic
yards:
Volume = 96,102.41666667 ft³ ÷ 27 = 3,559.348765 yd³

62
Q
  1. A building is 35 yards tall, how many feet tall is it?
A

To convent from yards to feet, take your quantity in yards and multiply it by 3
35 yd. X 3 ft./yd. = 105’

63
Q
  1. Referring to “Wall Section A”, what is the distance from finished grade to
    the top of the concrete slab?
A

6’10”

If you refer to the drawing, you can find three key measurements:
Distance from top of footing to top of foundation wall= 7’4”
Distance from finished grade to top of foundation wall = 2”
Thickness of basement slab= 4”
Because the slab sits on top of the footing and the measurement in
question doesn’t include the amount that the wall stick out above
grade, both measurements need to be deducted from the overall
dimension:
Distance from finished grade to top of concrete slab =
7’4” - 2” - 4” = 6’10”

64
Q

Referring to “Wall Section A”, how many nails (and at what length) would
you need to use at the connection between the 2X6’s and 2X8’s?

A

3 nails, 76mm long

65
Q

Referring to “Wall Section A”, what is the height from sub-floor to
finished ceiling in the second storey if you are using 5/8” drywall?

A

7’ - 6 5/8”

66
Q
  1. Referring to “Wall Section A”, what is the actual distance of the
    cantilevered floor frame?
A

24”

67
Q
  1. Referring to “Wall Section A”, to what elevation would you excavate for
    your basement if finished grade
    elevation is 729’ - 3 5/8”
A

721’ - 9 5/8”

To determine the depth of our excavation, we must take the total
height of our wall (7’4”), deduct the distance the wall projects above
finished grade (2”), and add the additional depth required for the
layer of gravel that is laid below the slab:
Depth of excavation = 7’4” - 2” + 4” = 7’6” = 7.5’
Next, you can either keep your measurements in feet and inches and
subtract them from your total:
729’3 5/8” - 7’6” = 728’15 5/8” - 7’6” = 721’9 5/8”
Or, you can also convent to decimal feet, subtract your distance and
convent back to feet, inches and fractions of an inch:
5t8 = 0.625” + 3” = 3.625” ÷ 12 inches/foot
= 0.3020833’ + 729’ = 729.30208333’
729.30208333’ - 7.5’ = 721.80208333’
721.80208333 - 721 = 0.80208333 X 12 = 9.625 - 9
= 0.625” X 16 = 10/16 = 5/8
= 721’ - 9 5/8”

68
Q

Referring to “Wall Section A”, what type of material could be used for
building paper according to the building code?

cemented together with lap cement.

69
Q
  1. Referring to “Wall Section A”, the 10” thick drops are included for:
A

Aesthetics

Looking at the section, we can see that the cantilevered section of the floor gets its stuctural support
from being incorporated into the second floor framing. The support is provided by the full floor system
and diagonal bracing is not required. We can also rule out the possibility of it being a tie in for the bricks,
as it sits above the bricks and is tied into the wood sheathing that overlaps the bricks slightly. If you look
at the brick section you can see that ties un from the sheathing behind the bricks through the veneer
every 5th course.

  1. Referring to “Plan C”, what is the dimension of distance “Z”?
A

48’ - 9”

Looking at the highlighted area that is inside the building footprint, we can see that
dimension “Z” goes from the center of one 10” common wall to the center of
another 10” exterior wall at the top of the drawing. We can also see from the other
highlighted area that the overall length of the building is 62’7”.
To determine
distance “Z”, we can do the following:
First, we take the width of our excavated area (12’ - 2”) and add two wall thicknesses
(1 thickness on either side of the excavated area):
12’ 2 + (10” X 2) = 12’ - 2” + 20” = 13’ -10”

Next, we can subtract our new dimension from the overall length of our building to
determine our distance from the outside face of the common wall to the outside
face of the exterior wall:
Z = (62’ - 7”) - (13’-10”) = 61’19” - 13’10” = 48’9”
Although this measurement represents the distance from the inside face of our
common wall to the outside face of our exterior wall, the measurement of “Z” will be
the same value because both walls are the same thickness and offset one another.

Q
  1. A sheet of plywood has 5 equal layers (ply’s). What is the thickness of each layer if the overall
    thickness is 0.019 m?
A

0.0038 m

To find the thickness of each layer, take your overall thickness and divide it by the number of layers:
0.019 m ÷ 5 layers = 0.0038 m/layer

Q
  1. An apprentice cuts a piece of stock into 4 pieces. The lengths are 3 3/8”, 2 7/6”, 4 1/2”, and 1 1/4”.
    If 1/8” is used up for each saw kerf, what is the original length of the board?
A

11 15/16”

To create four pieces, we will need to make three saw cuts (see
drawing). Therefore, to determine the overall piece of material we
stated with we need to convent our four lengths of material into
decimal inches, and add them to the decimal inch equivalent of three
saw kerfs ( 3cuts X 1/8 inch/cut = 3/8”):

Original length of material 
= 3 3/8 + 2 7/16"+ 4 1/2" + 1 1/4"+ 3/8"
= 3.375" + 2.4375" + 4.5" + 1.25" + 0.375"
= 11.9375"
 =  11  15/16"
93
Q
  1. How many square yards of drywall would you need to cover a wall measuring 22’0” X 9’0”?
A

22 yd²

First, calculate your wall area in square feet:
22’ X 9’ = 198 ft²
Then, divide your area by the number of square feet in a square yard:
1 yd² = 3’ X 3’ = 9 ft²
area in square yards = 198 ft² ÷ 9 ft²/yd² = 22 yd²

Q
  1. How many cubic inches of wood chips are there in a tank containing 15 cubic feet of them?
A

25,920 in³

First, we must determine the number of cubic inches in a cubic foot:
looking at the drawing, we can see that a cubic foot is 12” long, 12” wide, and 12” high:
volume in cubic inches in a cubic foot = 12” X 12” X 12” = 1,728 in³/ft³
Next, we need to multiply our total in cubic feet by the number of cubic inches in a cubic foot:
15 ft³ X 1,728 in³/ft³ = 25,920 in³
