NCARB PDD Question Answer
Temporary shoring of a masonry wall should remain in place until what point?
Mortar joints are struck
Lateral bracing connections are complete
Horizontal reinforcing is installed
Foundations are backfilled
(PDD) Study Guide References:
Temporary shoring in masonry construction supports walls until they gain sufficient stability. It should remain in place until:
The wall is laterally braced or tied back to a stable structure to resist wind and other lateral loads.
Mortar may have hardened but shoring removal depends on the overall stability.
Horizontal reinforcing and backfilling provide some support but do not replace lateral bracing.
Thus, temporary shoring should remain until all lateral bracing connections are complete, ensuring the wall’s stability.
