Q
  1. Describe BF (Board feet of lumber) formula
A

BF = T x W x L x Number of pieces / 12 or 144
 T = thickness of the board
 W= width of the board
 L = length of the board
• If L is in feet use 12, if L is in inches use 144

26. What are the three rules of nailing?
1) Use proper nail size it must penetrate at least 2/3 into second board 2) Drive nails at a slight angle toward each other (x) 3) Use a good nailing pattern
27
27. Describe Nail Formula
It is used to determine the amount of nails needed in pounds 1) Framing use 10d to 60d Pound (p) = (d/6) x (BM/100) 2) Sheathing use 2d to 8d (or material up to 1”) Pound (p) = (d/4) x (BM/100) • Round up to whole number
28
28. What are the other Fasteners?
Spikes & Drift Pins Screws Bolts Timber Connectors
29
29. What is the design life?
How long can the building stay with no repairs
30
30. What are the three categories of design life?
Permanent 25 and more Semi-permanent 5 to 25 Temporary less than 5
31
31. What are the three types of framing?
Platform (used extensively in military construction), Balloon, and Braced
32
32. What is substructure?
Anything above foundation lines, it consider as sub structure
33
33. What are the four components of the substructure?
Footer, Girder, Joist, and Subfloor
34
34. What is spacing of Footer?
Footer should never be placed more than 10 feet apart.
35
35. What are the components of of footer?
Footing, Spreader, Scab, and Post
36
36. What are the footer made of?
Pressure treated lumber
37
37. What is the spacing on center between joist?
16 inches
38
38. What is placement of Joist?
Run perpendicular to load bearing walls and girders
39
39. where bridging should be constructed?
For every 8’ of span one line of bridging should be constructed
40
40. What is splice plates?
It covers joint, constructed of the same lumber used in the joists. 24” in length and cover both sides of the joint.
41
41. What is the special instruction of laying sub floor?
Off-set joints of the plywood by starting with a half sheet, the first course of plywood runs perpendicular to the joist
42
42. What is the special instruction on wood materials?
All wooden material should be treated if less than 18 inches from the ground
43
43. Describe Estimate floor sheathing
( L x W) / 32 round up X2 = TOTAL amount of sheets (treated & untreated)
44
44. What are the two types of stairs?

7 to 9” high
46
46. What is range of tread?
8 to 11” deep
47
47. Describe Stairs formula
Ground level to floor / 7.5 (optimal riser) then round up number = tread Ground level to floor / tread = actual riser length

55
55. What is pitch?
A 5-12 pitch means for every 12 inches horizontal distance there is a 5 inch vertical rise
56
56. Describe Rafter Formula
``` 1) RL HS2 X R2 = C2 Run = width /2 = HS Rise = pitch x Run = R • Convert rise in. to ft by dividing 12 2) TRL with Overhang Find out RL and add OH ``` ``` 3) TRL with Projection HS = Pr+(width/2) = HS Rise= HS x Pitch and divied by 12 =R Solve problem by using HS^ + R^ = C^ • Hundredth decimal point .00 ```
57
57. Describe Truss&Rafter estimate
of roof members = Building length / O.C spacing Round up +1 * Rafter spacing 16” (1.33) OC * Truss spacing 24” (2’) OC

60
59. What is spacing of trusses?
24” O.C
61
62. What are the roofing materials?
Metal Tile Shingle (Wood and Asphalt)
62
63. Estimate roof sheathing?
TRL X TBL ( Length + 2(projection) Then, divide by 32 and multiply by 2
63
