Six concrete columns 4.

0m high with uniform cross section dimension of 30cm X 30cm shall make use of 1/2” plyform on a 2” X 2”
wood frame.
1. What is the total area of the forms?
a. 28.80sqm b. 31.20sqm c. 33.60sqm d. 36.00sqm e. 38.40sqm
SOLUTION: Use formula: P = 2 ( a + b ) + 0.20
= 2 ( 0.30m + 0.30m ) + 0.20
= 1.40m
Form Area = P X Height X No. of Columns
= 1.40m X 4.0m X 6 columns
= 33.60 sqm
THE ANSWER IS “c”.
2. How many pieces of plyform will be needed?
a. 10pcs b. 11pcs c. 12pcs d. 13pcs e. 14pcs
SOLUTION: Plyform Area = 1.2m X 2.4m = 2.88 sqm
No. of Plyform = Form Area / Plyform Area
= 33.60 sqm / 2.88 sqm
= 11.66 pcs., say 12 pcs.
THE ANSWER IS “c”.
3. Determine the board-foot quantity of wood frame using Table 5-1.
a. 244 bd.ft. b. 301 bd.ft. c. 356 bd.ft. d. 366 bd.ft. e. 683 bd.ft.
SOLUTION: From Table 5-1, the multiplier for 2” X 2” Wood Frame using 12mm (1/2”) Plywood Form for Post is “20.33”
Total Board Feet = 12 pieces X 20.33
= 243.96 bd.ft.

THE ANSWER IS “a”.

A reinforced concrete building has 9 columns with a clear height

of 4.0m as shown below. Determine the required scaffolding
using the following specs: 2” X 3” for vertical support; and 2”
X 2” for both horizontal and diagonal supports. Refer to Table
5-3 for the corresponding multipliers.
4. The bd-ft quantity for column vertical supports.
a. 144 bd.ft. b. 170 bd.ft. c. 216 bd.ft.
d. 252 bd.ft. e. 288 bd.ft.
SOLUTION:
Total Length of Columns = 9 pcs X 4.0m = 36.0 meters
Table 5-3 multiplier for 2” X 3” Column Vertical is “7.00”
Total Board Feet = 36.0m X 7.00 = 252.0 bd.ft.
THE ANSWER IS “d”.

5. The bd-ft quantity for beam horizontal supports.

a. 240 bd.ft. b. 252 bd.ft. c. 306 bd.ft.
d. 357 bd.ft. e. 756 bd.ft.
SOLUTION:
Length of Beams = (6pcsX4.0m) + (6pcsX4.5m) = 51.0 meters
Table 5-3 multiplier for 2”X2” Beam Horizontal is “4.70”
Total Board Feet = 51.0m X 4.70 = 239.70 bd.ft.
THE ANSWER IS “a”.

6. The bd-ft quantity for diagonal braces.

a. 421 bd.ft. b. 497 bd.ft. c. 597 bd.ft. d. 630 bd.ft. e. 756 bd. ft.
SOLUTION: Total Length of Columns = 36.0 meters (as computed in Solution # 4)
Table 5-3 multiplier for 2”X2” Column Brace is “11.70”
Total Board Feet = 36.0m X 11.70 = 421.20 bd.ft.
THE ANSWER IS “a”.
7. How many plywood will be used for slab form?
a. 20pcs b. 23pcs c. 25pcs d. 28pcs e. 30pcs.
SOLUTION: Slab Floor Area = 8.0m X 9.0m = 72.0 sqm
 No. of Plywood = 72.0sqm X 2.88sqm per plywood = 25.0
THE ANSWER IS “c”.
8. The bd-ft quantity for floor slab scaffolding.
a. 439 bd.ft. b. 504 bd.ft. c. 576 bd.ft. d. 655 bd.ft. e. 871 bd.ft.
SOLUTION: Slab Floor Area = 72.0 sqm (as computed in Solution # 7)
Table 5-3 multiplier for 2”X3” Flooring is “9.10”
Total Board Feet = 72.0sqm X 9.10 = 655.20
THE ANSWER IS “d”.
9. The bd-ft quantity for beam vertical supports.
a. 240 bd.ft. b. 252 bd.ft. c. 306 bd.ft. d. 357 bd.ft. e. 756 bd.ft.
SOLUTION: Total Length of Beams = 51.0 meters (as computed in Solution # 5)
Table 5-3 multiplier for 2”X3” Beam Vertical is “6.00”
Total Board Feet = 51.0m X 6.00 = 306.00 bd.ft.
THE ANSWER IS “c”.
10. The bd-ft quantity for column horizontal supports.
a. 240 bd.ft. b. 252 bd.ft. c. 306 bd.ft. d. 357 bd.ft. e. 756 bd.ft.
SOLUTION: Total Length of Columns = 36.0 meters (as computed in Solution # 4)
Table 5-3 multiplier for 2”X2” Column Horizontal is “21.00”
Total Board Feet = 36.0m X 21.00 = 756.00 bd.ft.
THE ANSWER IS “e”.
