Question 2

The ____ job is to draw orthographic fabrication details based on the engineer's design.
A) checker's
B) drafting clerk's
C) junior engineer's
D) CAD technician's

Accepted Answer

A CAD technician's job is to create technical drawings using computer-aided design software based on the engineer's design. A checker is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and compliance of drawings, a drafting clerk may assist with drafting but may not have the necessary technical knowledge, and a junior engineer may be responsible for design but not necessarily for detailed drawing.

Question 3

____ are orthographic drawings of precast concrete beams, columns, wall panels, roof/floor members, and metal connectors.
A) Fabrication details
B) Construction detail
C) Assembly details
D) Structure details

Accepted Answer

Fabrication details are orthographic drawings that show the specific details of the components to be fabricated, including precast concrete beams, columns, wall panels, roof/floor members, and metal connectors. These drawings are used by the fabricator to produce the components accurately and to ensure they meet the design requirements.

Question 4

When each ____ finishes the bill of materials in his area of responsibility, the resultant bills may be stapled together and used as one complete bill for the entire job.
A) section technician
B) CAD manager
C) junior CAD technician
D) CAD technician

Accepted Answer

The responsibility of creating a bill of materials is with a CAD technician, and hence option D would be the best choice. The other options - section technician, CAD manager, and junior CAD technician - do not typically have this responsibility in the design process.

Question 5

In counting material quantities, the drafter should be careful to count according to ____ and not according to the picture presented by the fabrication detail.
A) diagrams explicitly showing every piece
B) dimensional specifications
C) engineer's notes
D) connection details

Accepted Answer

The dimensional specifications provide the correct measurements for the materials needed, regardless of how they may appear in the fabrication detail. The other options may provide helpful information, but may not give an accurate count of the materials needed.

Question 6

The ____ contains details of metal connectors and miscellaneous materials.
A) materials sheet
B) metals sheet
C) connectors sheet
D) panels sheet

Accepted Answer

Question 8

For the convenience of the people who will use the bill of materials, the MK Numbers ____.
A) should be listed using standard abbreviations
B) may be omitted since the entries are optional
C) should be listed in order from smallest to largest
D) are entered twice for verification purposes

Accepted Answer

MK Numbers should be listed in order from smallest to largest to ensure clarity and ease of use for those referencing the bill of materials.

Question 9

It is common practice in precast concrete drafting to draw column lengths on fabrication details ____.
A) using the architect's scale
B) using the engineer's scale
C) using a life size CAD scale
D) not to scale

Accepted Answer

Column lengths on fabrication details are often drawn not to scale to focus on the dimensions and details rather than the actual size.

Question 10

All stranding information required on floor/roof fabrication details is taken from the ____.
A) engineering calculation sketches
B) framing plan
C) shop drawings
D) checkprints

Accepted Answer

Question 11

The most common method used in the preparation of a bill of materials is to prepare ____.
A) one bill for each product type used in a job
B) one complete bill of materials covering all of the precast concrete members in a job
C) individual bills of materials for each individual precast concrete member in a job
D) separate bills of materials for each of the separate section drawings in a job

Accepted Answer

The answer of The most common method used in the...

Question 12

The ____ is a form showing a number of bar diagrams with letters substituted for dimensions.
A) reinforcing bar schedule
B) rebar schedule
C) coded bar schedule
D) orthogonal schedule

Accepted Answer

The answer of The ____ is a form showing a...

Question 13

Using the bill of materials, ____ draw all of the material they need from the supply bin to manufacture a given member.
A) erection workers
B) site workers
C) shop workers
D) construction workers

Accepted Answer

Shop workers typically work in a manufacturing facility and are responsible for assembling components and products. As such, they use the bill of materials to ensure that they have all the necessary materials and parts to create the finished product. Erection workers, site workers, and construction workers typically work on site and may not have access to all the materials needed to manufacture a specific member.

Question 14

A(n) ____ is a comprehensive listing of all materials that are used in the fabrication and erection of the precast concrete products for a given job.
A) project invoice
B) bill of materials
C) bill of sales
D) originator's receipt

Accepted Answer

A bill of materials is a document that lists all the materials needed to produce a specific product, in this case precast concrete products. This document is typically used in manufacturing and construction industries to ensure that all necessary materials are accounted for and to help with budgeting and scheduling. A project invoice is a document that lists the cost of all materials and labor for a project, while a bill of sales is a document that outlines the terms of a sale between a buyer and a seller. An originator's receipt is a document that acknowledges receipt of goods by the party who initiated the order. None of these other options accurately describe a comprehensive listing of materials needed for precast concrete products.

Question 15

____ are comprehensive, precisely detailed drawings prepared for use by shop workers in fabricating precast concrete products and the metal connectors they contain.
A) Engineering drawings
B) Shop drawings
C) Engineer's sketches
D) Checkprints

Accepted Answer

Shop drawings are specifically designed for shop workers to fabricate and assemble precast concrete products and their metal connectors. They include comprehensive and precise details, dimensions, and specifications. Engineering drawings are typically more general in nature and not as detailed for shop fabrication purposes. Engineer's sketches and checkprints may be used in the design and review process but are not intended for use by shop workers in fabrication.

Question 16

A) structural design drawings
B) engineering blueprints
C) working drawings
D) project drawings

Accepted Answer

When engineering drawings are combined with the shop drawings to form a set of precast concrete working drawings, the metals sheet becomes the first sheet in the set and contains the master legend and the general notes for the job.

Question 20

Blockout and metal connector sizes and locations needed in constructing floor/roof fabrication details are determined from the ____.
A) engineering calculation sketches
B) framing plan
C) shop drawings
D) checkprints

Accepted Answer

The framing plan provides details on the location and sizes of blockouts and metal connectors needed in constructing floor/roof fabrication. Engineering calculation sketches may provide technical details, shop drawings may provide installation details, and checkprints are used for quality control and approval purposes. However, the framing plan specifically shows the placement and size of the necessary components within the overall framework.
