Transcript text: Lateral bridging is when angle iron is placed in a $\qquad$ structure's drawings and welded to the top and bottom chord of the joist.
A) parallel
B) crossed
C) vertical
D) horizontal
Solution
The answer is D) horizontal: Lateral bridging is when angle iron is placed in a horizontal structure's drawings and welded to the top and bottom chord of the joist.
Explanation for each option:
A) Parallel: This option is incorrect because lateral bridging refers to the placement of angle iron in a horizontal manner, not parallel.
B) Crossed: This option is incorrect because lateral bridging does not involve crossing the angle iron; it is placed horizontally.
C) Vertical: This option is incorrect because lateral bridging involves horizontal placement, not vertical.
D) Horizontal: This option is correct because lateral bridging involves placing angle iron horizontally and welding it to the top and bottom chord of the joist.
Summary:
Lateral bridging involves the horizontal placement of angle iron in a structure's drawings, which is then welded to the top and bottom chord of the joist.
