This building type is considered to be the least performant in terms of fire resistance.Type VThis building type is considered to be the most performant in terms of fire resistance.Type IIGuidance based on the activities and usage within a building.Occupancy ClassificationsLawful document which provides building design guidance and performance requirements.Model Building CodesDescription of how the building is to be built and consist of plans and specifications.Construction DocumentsWhile executing a project, architects and engineers are part of which project team?designWhile executing a project, general contractor and suppliers are part of which project team?ConstructionWhile executing a project, financers are part of which project team?•ownerIt provides guidance based on the activities and usage within a building.Occupancy ClassificationsThese are lawful documents which provides building design guidance and performance requirements.Model Building CodesThe goal of this construction execution method is to diminish the overall duration of the project.phasedA mortar type designated for general purpose, used for nonloadbearing masonry and exterior masonry not subject to severe lateral loadsType NThis type of brick is made by a process of using moderately moist clay extruded through dies and then sliced into individual units.Stiff Mud ProcessThis type of brick is made by a process of using relatively moist clay that is pressed into individual moldsSoft Mud ProcessThis type of brick is made by a process of using relatively dry and stiff clays that is machine-pressed into steel molds at high pressure.Dry-press ProcessThe actual dimensions of a brick are actually greater than its nominal dimensions.FalseA [ Select ] is one horizontal row of bricksCourseThe process of laying bricks requires speed only to be economical, precision is secondary.TrueBrick can support themselves once in place therefore no additional measures are necessary to span a doorway opening.FalseMasonry loadbearing walls:-can be a composite masonry wall -can be made of a single wythe of masonry units -Can be a cavity masonry wall -Carry loadingFor a composite wall, courses are bonded with a header units.falseComposite walls are made of 2 or more different materials.trueMasonry Cavity walls are solid composite wall types.falseSelect all wall types for which the following statement applies. Makes us of a continuous waterproof membrane that intercepts water directs it to the exterior through weep holes.masonry cavity wallsAllows for water to drain from wall cavity.weep holeA continuous air space between wythes acts as an internal drainage plane.trueMasonry wall reinforcement can be achieved by:all of the above -cast horizontal rebar in masonry concrete units. -Cast concrete with vertical steel rebar into hollow units -Use post-tensioned rods cast into concrete -Using steel mesh in grouted jointWhich masonry type is made of a stiff concrete mix vibrated into metal molds.Concrete masonry unitFor CMUs, steam curing in pressure vessels can be performed to:-accelerate curing -save money -increase early strengthThe actual standard size of a CMU is 8" x 8" x 16".falseThe height of a standard 8-inch CMU corresponds exactly to four courses of ordinary clay bricks.falseAccording to ASTM classification, Heavy-, Medium- and Light-weigh units will have different sizes but made of the same concrete material to achieve a lower weight for individual units.falseFor commercial purposes, building stone is classified into six groups according to ASTM C119. Select all that apply.-granite -limestone -quartz-based -slateWhen selecting stone for building masonry, the appearance of the stone is not considered.falseLocally sourcing masonry materials will aid in lowering the cost of construction.trueGenerally, a higher density and higher water absorption results in a greater durability of stone masonry.false
