Question 1

When drawing a roof framing plan for a gable roof, you primarily use _____ lines.&#10;A) thin, continuous&#10;B) thick, continuous&#10;C) thin, dashed&#10;D) thick, dashed

Accepted Answer

Thin, continuous lines are typically used to represent structural elements in a roof framing plan, such as ridge beams, rafters, and collar ties. This allows for clear and easy-to-read drawings. Thick lines are sometimes used to highlight specific elements or areas, but are not the primary choice for the majority of the drawing. Dashed lines are typically used for non-structural elements or for showing hidden features, such as dashed lines for hidden roof planes or dashed lines for hidden beams behind walls.

Question 2

The areas where joists or rafters are stiffened to resist bending from lateral loads are often referred to as a ____.&#10;A) diaphragm&#10;B) truss&#10;C) wall panel&#10;D) portal frame

Accepted Answer

A diaphragm is a structural element that is used to transfer lateral loads (such as wind or earthquake forces) to the vertical elements of a building. In a floor or roof system, the areas where the joists or rafters are stiffened to resist bending from these lateral loads are referred to as the diaphragm, which is usually made up of panels or boards that are fastened to the framing members. Trusses, wall panels, and portal frames are all types of structural elements, but they may not necessarily be related to the stiffening of the floor or roof system for lateral loads.

Question 3

Which of the following are located over every opening in a wall?&#10;A) joists&#10;B) headers&#10;C) rafters&#10;D) trusses

Accepted Answer

Headers are located over every opening in a wall, such as doors and windows, to support the weight of the structure above the opening. Joists are horizontal framing members that support the floor or ceiling above, rafters are angled framing members that support the roof, and trusses are pre-fabricated structural elements used to support the roof or floor.

Question 4

Framing plans are used as reference maps to show where cross sections have been cut.

Accepted Answer

Framing plans are indeed used as reference maps to show where cross sections have been cut. They provide an overview of the entire building and indicate the width, height, depth, and location of building components such as walls, beams, and columns.

Question 5

A structure framed with trusses requires more detailing than the same plan framed with rafters and ceiling joists.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A structure framed with trusses requires more...

Question 6

The framing plan can be created from the base drawing that was used to create the floor plan.

Accepted Answer

The framing plan is created from the base drawing or floor plan, as it shows the structural components and layout of the building.

Question 7

Each exterior surface of a residence is considered a ____.&#10;A) header&#10;B) portal frame&#10;C) rafter&#10;D) braced wall line

Accepted Answer

Each exterior surface of a residence is considered a braced wall line, which provides lateral support and stability to the structure. Headers and rafts are specific parts of the framing system, and a portal frame is a type of structural system used in large commercial buildings.

Question 8

An alternative braced wall panel (ABWP) is a method of braced wall line reinforcement that uses _____ in place of a braced wall panel.&#10;A) smaller, stronger panels&#10;B) larger, stronger panels&#10;C) a series of interconnected mini-rafters&#10;D) trusses

Accepted Answer

The answer of An alternative braced wall panel (ABWP) is...

Question 9

For multilevel structures, intermittent bracing must always be used on all levels.

Accepted Answer

Intermittent bracing is not always required on all levels of multilevel structures; the need for bracing depends on the design and stability requirements of the specific structure.

Question 10

Beams in the middle of a room must be located by dimensions.

Accepted Answer

Beams in the middle of a room must be located by dimensions in order to ensure proper support and stability. This involves measuring the distance from walls or other fixed structures to accurately position the beams.

Question 11

A(n) ____ is a method of braced wall line reinforcement that uses panels with a minimum length of 48'' (1200 mm) to resist lateral loads.&#10;A) diaphragm&#10;B) joist&#10;C) braced wall panel&#10;D) truss

Accepted Answer

The answer of A(n) ____ is a method of braced...

Question 12

Methods of attaching the wall panel to the sill plate should be shown _____.&#10;A) on the floor plan and the foundation plan&#10;B) only the foundation plan&#10;C) only on the floor plan&#10;D) in a schedule

Accepted Answer

The answer of Methods of attaching the wall panel to...

Question 13

When completing a framing plan, rafter direction is based on the _____ of the roof.&#10;A) length&#10;B) width&#10;C) height&#10;D) shape

Accepted Answer

The answer of When completing a framing plan, rafter direction...

Question 14

A wall may be offset up to _____ and still be considered one plane.&#10;A) 36&#34; (914 mm)&#10;B) 48&#34; (1219 mm)&#10;C) 60&#34; (1524 mm)&#10;D) 72&#34; (1829 mm)

Accepted Answer

The answer of A wall may be offset up to...

Question 15

A continuous sheathing wood structure panel (CS-WSP) must _____.&#10;A) not be used to resist any wind load in excess of 100 mph (45 m/s)&#10;B) be attached to the studs using 6d common nails placed at 6&#34; (150 mm) o.c.&#10;C) use 1/4&#34; (6 mm) panels for the wall sheathing&#10;D) be anchored to the foundation with four 1/2&#34; (12.7 mm) &#194; anchor bolts

Accepted Answer

The answer of A continuous sheathing wood structure panel (CS-WSP)...
