CM 1112 HEUMANN TEST 1 - QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS.
T/F Concrete shrinks during curing and drying Answer - True
T/F Phased construction can introduce additional risks if elements built early
come into conflict with later design decisions Answer - True
T/F Piles are made of wood, steel, or brick Answer - False
T/F The proper curing of concrete requires sufficient quantities of water and air
Answer - False
T/F Fly ash is a naturally occurring volcanic ash found in the western US
Answer - False
T/F Zoning ordinances control how much land can be covered by buildings,
building codes with safety and health relative to the quality of construction
Answer - True
T/F Sandy soils typically have a lower bearing capacity than silts or clays
Answer - False
T/F Caissons are a slope support system for deep excavations Answer - False
, T/F Incomplete consolidation leads to a rock pocket in the concrete wall
Answer - True
T/F Sloped or benched excavation is less expensive than sheeted excavation,
but requires a site without nearby property lines Answer - True
Methodology used for rating the environmental sustainability of a building's
design and construction Answer - LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design)
Typically math occupancy type or use groups with construction types based on
fire resistance ratings Answer - Building codes
Used in concrete to improve workability and increases the resistance of freeze-
thaw damage Answer - Air Entrainment
A concrete surface lying upon, and continuously supported by the ground
Answer - Slab on grade
Used to eliminate trapped air and to fill around the reinforcing steel and into all
corners of the formwork Answer - Vibrator
Deep foundation system used when the bearing strata (i.e. bedrock) is for
below the ground surface Answer - Friction piles
Occurs during concrete placement if the concrete is dropped from a substantial
height Answer - Segregation
Settlement occurs at variable rates typically due to soils, loads and structural
systems Answer - Differential settlement
