Total questions: 16
Worksheet time: 14mins
A wall is a structure and a surface that defines an area; carries a load; provides security, shelter, or soundproofing; or, is decorative.
Statement above is TRUE or FALSE?
TRUE
FALSE
A PARTY WALL is ________________
Separating walls must be provided with necessary fire requirements served to prevent the spread of fire from one separate unit of house to another.
A partition is used to divide rooms but does not hold anything up apart from its own weight. It is connected to that wall and provides stability for it.
An enclosure to the house for security reason and internal walls help to divide the internal spaces.
The part of the structure of the building that holds the building, used to support roof, floor and other wall loads.
This pictures shows ______________
marble tiles
clay bricks
sand bricks
stones
Wall built higher than _____________, need intermediate structural members to support the wall.
5m
6m
3m
2.8m
This picture show brick layering process. Below are the components needed during the process of brick layering except:
mortar
brick
wire mesh
column
The application of expanded metal reinforcement in brickwork reduces the detrimental effects of vibration and changes of temperature that can cause cracks.
Statement above is TRUE or FALSE?
TRUE
FALSE
Truss Mesh Reinforcement were install in these types of wall except:
Composite Wall
Hollow Block Concrete Wall
Clay Brick Wall
Sand Brick Wall
Galvanized Steel Sections used to make framing for a _____________________These will be covered with sheeting. Note that wooden surrounds have been installed around door openings.
below
a metal sheet wall
a glass wall panel
a timber wall panel
a light partition wall
These walls are light and quick to construct. This means that they do not need to rest on pre-planned beams: they can be placed anywhere (as long as engineers have accounted for this in the slab design). This means that they allow for great flexibility in layouts, unlike the heavier masonry walls. They are clearly non-structural in nature.
The statement above referring to these pictures EXCEPT.....
Which statement below describes the images?
Load- bearing wall constructed by casting concrete in a reusable wall mold or form which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place.
Load-bearing walls support the weight of a floor or roof structure above. Non-load bearing wall, sometimes called a partition wall, is responsible only for holding up itself.
Load- bearing walls are a kind of masonry construction that has been used for thousands of years.
Load bearing wall is the connection between a wall and its stiffening wall;- designed to resist developed tension and compression forces, by anchors or ties or other similar means
Which of these statements is the best description for the diagram above?
Masonry walls consist of modular building blocks bonded together with mortar to form walls that are durable and fire resistant.
A party wall (occasionally parti-wall or parting wall, also known as common wall or as a demising wall) is a dividing partition between two adjoining buildings that is shared by the occupants of each residence or business.
UBBL, Section 86 (1) All party wall shall generally be of not less than 200mm total thickness of solid masonry or insitu concrete which may be made up of two separate skins each of not less than 100mm thickness if constructed at different times
UBBL, Section 86 (3) All party wall shall be carried above the upper surface of the roof to a distance of no less than 230mm at right angles to such upper surface
Precast concrete walls may be used to provide stability in frame structures (shear walls), to carry vertical loads or to act as fire barriers.
The statement above is TRUE or FALSE?
TRUE
FALSE
Below are the advantages of Precast Wall EXCEPT:
Speed of construction – can be done in a short time
Optimum use of material – no wastage
Reduce number of manpower at site – assembling can be done with less number of workers
Design scheme- monotonous and similar. Design restriction.
A shear wall is a structural system composed of vertical braced panels (also known as shear panels) to counter the effects of lateral load acting on a structure.
Which of the statements below is FALSE?
Shear wall performance depends on the material used, wall thickness, wall-length and wall positioning in the building frame.
To avoid torsion in buildings, shear walls must be placed symmetrically in the plan. Other lateral walls run at right angles, providing three-dimensional stability to structures.
Shear wall is practical to be built in multistoried or high rise buildings in areas of high wind velocity or seismic activity in earthquake-prone areas.
Shear walls cannot have openings even though for doors, windows and other types of openings.
________________________________is a thin-shell system where the exterior wythe of concrete contains alkali-resistant glass fibers that is normally sprayed into forms. The fibers increase tensile, flexural and impact strengths.
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)
Gypsum Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GRFC)
Do you understand about the WALL topic?
Yes, I understand clearly.
No, I don't understand at all.
I'm still confuse and need extra class.
I understand but need to do revision on my own.
