I. MULTIPLE CHOICE (15 Points)

Natural Asphalts Bituminous Materials Clay Masonry

Concrete Hollow blocks Bricks Polymers Hot Rolled Asphalts
Asphalt Concrete Porous Asphalt Polyvinyl Chloride Polyethylene
Fly Ash Bitumen Mortar Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Carbon Fiber Fresh Concrete Veneer Masonry Thermoplastic Polymer

1. It is generally taken to include all materials consisting of aggregate bound with either bitumen or tar
2. It is s the world's third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer
3. These are characterized by relatively low binder content and a continuously graded aggregate
4. This fiber has unique properties making it ideal for applications ranging from aerospace to automobiles,
to sporting goods, and when combined with resin to form a composite, it produces parts that are
incredibly light and rigid
5. These are dense materials that are characterized by their high bitumen content and high filler/fines
content
6. It is a building material used to make walls, pavements and other elements in masonry construction.
Traditionally, it is referred to a unit composed of clay, but it is now used to denote rectangular
units made of clay-bearing soil, sand, and lime, or concrete materials
7. This asphalt is a bituminous material designed to provide a large volume (at least 20%) of
interconnected air voids so that water can drain through the material and run off within the thickness of
the layer
8. It is the building of structures from individual units, which are often laid in and bound together by
mortar, can also refer to the units themselves
9. It is a very widely distributed material that is produced by weathering and decomposition of acid
alumino-silicate rocks such as the feldspars, granites and gneisses
10. Bitumen occurs naturally, formed from petroleum by geological forces, and always in intimate
association with mineral aggregate
11. It is the term used for the process of creating a temporary mould into which concrete is poured and
formed
12. It is a polymer that, when heated, becomes liquid, so it can be easily formed in any desired shape, when
cooled, will keep its shape forever
13. Any of a class of natural or synthetic substances composed of very large molecules, called
macromolecules, that are multiples of simpler chemical units called monomers
14. It is a composite material consisting of mixtures of cement, mortar or concrete and discontinuous,
discrete, uniformly dispersed suitable fibers
15. A walls consist of a single non-structural external layer of masonry, typically made of brick, stone or
manufactured stone

II. IDENTIFY & WRITE THE ANSWER (15 Points)

1. What is AASHTO?
2. What is FRC?
3. What is FRP?
4. Its purpose is to fill the gaps caused by variations in the size and shape of units such that the masonry is
stable and resists the flow of air and water
5. True or False: Masonry is not effective when resisting axial compressive loads normal to the bedding plane
6. True or False: Masonry is basically a non-structural member of a structure frame
7. True or False: Polymers make up many of the materials in living organisms, including, for example,
proteins, cellulose, and nucleic acids
8. Two general sources of Bitumens
9. Give at least (3) Three types of fiber
10. Give at Least Three (3) types of Common Masonry Materials in Construction
