25
What are three uses for rustification strips?
Decorative, you says a leveling strip to hide construction joints, use to create control joint
26
How is the height of finish concrete wall indicated if a level strip is not used?
Driving nails into formwork along a chalk line at the desired poor height.
27
How is a bulkhead made easier to strip?
Made of lumber instead of plywood, very important when dowels protrude through the bulkhead.
28
Describe how to set a bulkhead in the steel form?
Brace to the ties outside of the bulkhead.
29
What is attached to a wall form to create a pocket for a beam
Block out
30
Why shouldn't any of the sides, tops, or bottoms of bulks run the full length of the bulk?
To accommodate ease of stripping
31
What do Keys prevent of two members shifting how?
They prevent lateral shifting of team members
32
What is a bulkhead?
A bulkhead is an end face of a section of form work, acting as a vertical support to the cement. Bulkheads are required at all places where the top of the foundation's walls step in height
33
The term ...... Also applies to blocks of wood there used to hold members such as steals beams precisely in position during concrete placement.
Block out
34
What is the typical size for leveling strips in forms for the height of the concrete?
19x38 mm 1x2s are used to indicate the top of a concrete level sometimes their chamfer strips The Gap left by a leveling strip also Acts for the sheathing to overlap the foundation
35
Forming a legend of concrete wall is also known as what?
Offset
36
Work columns are supported on a foundation's wall and are built out what is that typically called
Pilasters
37
When bracing your forms what angle should the brace be at?
53°
38
What's the benefit of using gang forms for spacing?
Instead of ties being played 16 on center as for built in place forms they'll be space 72 inch on center gang forms are heavy and required crane to move an erect
39
What is a T panel
Where a T is in the concrete wall
40
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
To maintain a maximum deflection of 1:400 for architectural concrete the support supply would forms applies must have to be closer together than?
16 inch on center
42
What's the difference between a single and a double Waler?
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
Single Waler system automatically normally uses vertically sheathing panels and horizontal panels when this is done. Walers are required at all..... Panel joints
Horizontal
44
The double Waler system uses horizontal panels, vertical studs and horizontal walersm studs are required at all...... Panel joints
Vertical
45
Reinforcing bars, the rebar must be at least 3 in clear from the ground and
50 mm / 2 in clear from the sides of the footing form
46
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?
If the projection is 18 in then the depth of the depth needs to be 18 in
47
What angle are keyways?
15 to 20° and the blackout is coated with form oil
48
When making footings what's a footing ladder
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
How do you figure out the circumference of a circle?
Pie * diameter equals circumference
50
How do you figure out the area of a circle
Pi times radius times radius. Pie x radius2 The area of a circle is pi times the radius squared (A = π r²)
51
How do you determine the volume of a column.
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
Board feet calculation
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
How do you figure out how many tires and brackets do you need using the center line for a single Waler system
Centerline Preimeter, divided by the spacing of studs 16 on center and multiply by the number of rows of ties
54
What order should the carpenter use when planning the form layout
Corners and t-panel locations, then steps, full panels and infill.
55
For what height of foundation wall does WCB require certification by a p.eng?
4 m / 13 ft
56
Is the p.eng required to clarify gang form drawings
Yes
57
If the design is required to be certified by p.eng., one must the inspection be done by the p.eng?
Immediately before placement of concrete or other intended loadings
58
What is architectural concrete
Surfaces that will be left exposed to view
59
What is the serious drawback by using fiber form tubes for column forms
They can only be exposed limitedly to getting wet
60
When estimating for material how much should you allow for up to waste
Typically around 5%
61
What nails should be used for and cream bulk outs, bulkheads, strong backs and walers
Duplex nails
62
Form panels should be attached by using what type of nail?
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
A single sided form over 2 m 6 ft in height does it require the work to be clarified
Yes inspection required
64
Do most residential construction drawings include formwork information?
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
65
When would FRP be used to build column forms
Architectural concrete
66
What is the most common column shape
Rectangle and round
67
Why are there three sizes for the same normal diameter of fiber tube
Transportation purposes,
68
When would a steel column form be used?
When there will be many reuses
69
How can concrete columns finish be improved when using fiber forms
Use a plastic liner
70
What types of materials are conical column capital form is made from
Metal or FRP
71
What form requires no banding or column clamps
Round tube
72
How are columns forms held together
Ties, clamps, banding
73
how are column forms usually adjusted to the exact required height
Shim the bottom
74
What are the advantages of having a column form cut to all the same sides
The parts are interchangeable
75
What are large column forms made of typically?
Wood, FRP and fiber
76
Before forming a column what should be done
Accurately out must be done that starts with chalk lines on the columns foundations usually measured from grid lines. Kickers or templates are secure to the pads footings from here the column forms are placed either in one pre-assembled piece or formed one side side depending on material.
77
Still columns forms are often made in
Two halves. Steel forms require cleaning and oily immediately after oil
78
What are the four components of wall forming
Cheating, studs, ties, walers
79
Explain how strapped eyes are secured to studs
Nail two studs on alternating sides
80
Explain how the forces of fresh concrete reach the wall from the tie
Concrete presses against the sheathing, which presses against the studs or walers, transfer to the wedges and then to the tires
81
What signature should be used for waler and studs when using a single or double Waler form system?
2x4
82
What's the maximum spacing of studs in a double Waler system?
Amount of allowable sheathing deflection
83
What law for me system doesn't need to be stripped
ICF, insulated concrete forms
84
Describe a pilasters And stated purpose
Extra support for the column by thickening the wall so it may have like a jog in the wall just for the column.
85
Describe a corbel and it's purpose
A corbel, is it winding in the wall creating a ledge for the top. This may be for structural or decorative purposes
86
Deflection in a foundation form should not exceed
1:270 patience for foundations
87
Deflection should not move more than exposed concrete walls/ architectural concrete
1:400
88
You would use a grade beam for a shallow foundation in a?
Cold climate
89
What is a fully formed footing
Fully formed footings are easier to position and installing drain tile is easier than a trench or partially formed footing. They're good when you do not require firm soil conditions
