CSLB B TRADE ACTUAL FINAL EXAM (EXPERTLY SOLVED STUDY TEST QUESTIONS)
GUARANTEED A+
A lack of firestopping in a platform framed house is MOST common:
A. on exterior waits
B. around chimneys and pipes
C. at electrical chases
D. on interior walls
B.
A tack of firestopping is MOST common around chimneys and pipes.
Collar ties are installed in roof framing to:
A. prevent purlin sag
B. provide lateral support for the top of the walls
C. support the end walls of gable roofs
D. prevent rafters from sagging
D.
Collar ties prevent rafters from sagging
Offset walls supporting floor loads above:
A. can cause a floor to sag near the wall
B. are not permitted
C. cannot be offset by more than three feet
D. are unlimited in location as long as they are perpendicular to the joists below
,A.
Can cause a floor to sag near the wall. Offset load-bearing walls may result in a floor
sagging near
the wall because the load is not
transferred directly to the bearing wall or beam below.
All of the following are styles of roofs EXCEPT:
A. shed roof
B. hip roof
C. garage roof
D. butterfly roof
C.
A garage roof is not a style of roof.
All of the following perform essentially the same function as a knee wall EXCEPT:
A. purlins
B. struts
C. strongbacks
D. birds' mouths
D.
Birds' mouths are notches not structural members.
The webs of a truss:
,A. are compression members
B. are tension members
C. may be in compression or tension
D. have no load on them
C.
Webs may be in compression or tension.
Collar ties are:
A. always loaded in compression
B. always loaded in tension
C. potentially in compression or tension but are most often in tension
D. potentially in compression or tension but are most often in compression
B.
Always loaded in tension.

13.What is the MINIMUM girder for a 12' span under a deck?
A. 2" x4"
B. 4"x4"
C. 2"x6"
D. 4"x8"
D.
4" x8".
Only the 4"x 8" has enough bending strength to support the joists and deck.
, Which of the following statements is true of knee walls and struts?
A. Knee walls and struts should not bear directly on a supporting wall.
B. Knee walls and struts supporting purlins sometimes bear close to, but not directly on,
bearing walls.
C. Where knee walls and struts supporting purlins bear directly on supporting walls, the
joists should be the next size larger than they otherwise would be.
D. None of the above statements are true.
B.
Knee walls and struts supporting purlins sometimes bear close to, but not directly on,
bearing walls.
Masonry veneer has a function similar to:
A. studs
B. sheathing
C. buttress
D. aluminum siding
D.
Masonry veneer's function is similar to aluminum siding. It is not a structural member.
Lightweight concrete is BEST used at the:
A. curb & gutter
B. second floor decking
C. first floor slab on grade
D. footings
