QUESTIONS WITH 100% VERIFIED
ANSWERS 2025
To optimize the construction schedule, panels should be cast in nearly the same
order as they are to be erected and ___________________. -correct-answer-as
close as possible to their final position
Time could be lost if the first panel to be erected is the last panel to be cast or if
the panel is cast too far from where it is to be erected. Panels should be arranged
so that they are erected consecutively. -correct-answer-True
If panels are cast in the wrong location, they may have to be _____, __________,
______________ while other panels are moved out of the way. -correct-answer-
lifted, walked, or temporarily braced

Panels are typically cast outside face up. -correct-answer-False
Panels should be arranged so that they will be erected non-consecutively. -
correct-answer-False
What are the most common dimension lumber sizes used for tilt-up formwork? -
correct-answer-2x6
2x8
Describe the first option for a structural panel thickness is slightly thicker than the
depth of standard dimension lumber. -correct-answer-The first option is to use a
2x6 or 2x8 and build up the top by nailing on a strip of plywood or a 1x2 (if an
additional ¾ inches is required)
What are two advantages and on disadvantage of a common form? -correct-
answer-advantages: fewer form boards are required and any inconsistency in
straightness of the form is in, and matches, the adjacent panel (assuming the
adjacent panel shares the common form)
disadvantages: difficulty of securing the common form and the additional restraint
generated during the erection of the panel because the common form cannot be
stripped until one panel is erected.

and bottom of the reveals on the slab with chalk lines and should be either
screwed, nailed, or adhered to the slab.
How should the edges of a reveal strip be attached to the slab? -correct-answer-
The edges of the reveal strip should be caulked with a silicon or latex caulk to
produce a clean, crisp edge. The reveal strips should be thoroughly coated with
bond breaker after caulking.
What is a sandwich panel? -correct-answer-Thicker than standard Tilt-Up panels,
the insulated sandwich panel adds both an insulation layer and a non-structural
exterior concrete layer to the standard structural concrete layer.
