1. Roof should be well-drained and efficient water-proofing arrangement
should be provided true/ false …………………….
2. A sloping roof is known as ………pitch roof. These are suitable in
those areas where rainfall/ snowfall is very heavy.
3. Gable Roof is the common type of sloping roof which slopes in two directions. The two
slopes meet at the (Fig. with arrow and ?) …Ridge
4. This roof (shown in Fig.) is formed by four sloping surfaces in four directions
and is popularly known as ………… Hip
5. …………… is called the apex line of the sloping roof. a) vertex b) plane c) ridge
6. ………………………roof has slopes in all the four directions, but a plane surface
is formed at the top. a) slip b) slope c) deck
7. When two roof surfaces meet together and form an internal angle, a
………………………………. is formed. a) hip b) soffit c) valley
8. …………………………… are the wooden pieces which are placed horizontally on principal
rafters to carry the common rafters. a) Pitch b) Purlins c) Battens
9. The triangular upper part of a wall formed at the end of a pitched roof is known as
…………………………. a) Cleat b) Tie c) Gable
10. A ……………….……. roof is generally used for sheds, out houses attached to main
buildings verandah, with a maximum span of 2.4 m. a) lean b) lean -to c) lean-too
11. The ………………………. beam prevents the tendency of rafters to spread out and the
danger of overturning of the walls is avoided. a) Tie b) Collar c) Necklace
12. When the span increases or when the load is more, the rafters of the couple close roof have
the tendency to bend, this is avoided by raising the tie beam and fixing it at one-third to one-
half of the vertical height from the wall plate to the ridge. This raised beam is known as
………………. beam. a) collar b) tie c) coulure
13. When the span exceeds 5 m and when there are no inside supporting walls or partitions for
purlins, framed structure known as ………………………. are on the roof, position of cross
walls, span. a) publon b) purlins c) trusses
14. ……………is an essential part of pitches roof, to be placed over the roof frame work. It
protects from rain, snow, sun, wind & other atmospheric agencies. a) roof covering b)
cobbering c) gabling
15. This is the cheapest roof covering, commonly used in villages, very light, highly
combustible, unstable against high winds, absorbs moisture & liable to decay.
a) mud roof b) thatch c) concrete.
16. In order to drain a low-cost split bamboo and grass roof effectively, a minimum slope of ….
is kept. a)90-degree b) 60-degree c) 45-degree d) no slope kept.
17. ……………………………is the oldest type of roof covering materials & is still preferred
for residential building and country houses. This is because the material used is manufactured
from locally available earth. a) tiles b) vitrified tiles c) asbestos tiles d) No roof coverings are
used.
18. …………………. roof covering is cheap, light weight, tough, durable, water tight, fire-
resisting. The main advantage is that they are available in bigger units, hence supporting frame is
also cheaper, easier and lighter. These sheets do not require any protective paint. a) asbestos
cement sheet b) concrete longest sheets c) stainless steel copper plated d) GI and cast-iron sheets
with rust coating.
19. …………………… sheets should not be screwed very tight. a) AC sheets b) steel sheets c)
tile sheets d) concrete sheets.
20. i) G.I. sheets are widely used. ii) G.I. are weaker than A.C. Sheets. iii) Due to higher cost,
A.C. are not replaced by G.I. sheets. iv) They are not used for slopes flatter than 4:1.
a) I, II,III, IV are correct b) I, IV are correct, II, III are wrong, c) I only is correct d) none
