General Information

The Masonry Manual briefly covers the major topics of the State exam including Masonry Unit Components, Masonry Types and Sized, Mortar Ingredients and Types, Estimating, Reinforcing Steel, and Arches. The manual also includes summaries of the Uniform Building Code. The last section of the Masonry Manual covers the Health and Safety Orders.

The Math Review Lecture covers the math formulas in the first part of the Masonry manual. The Masonry Part 1 and Part 2 lectures cover the topics addressed in the manual specific to the C-29 trade exam. The Health and Safety Lecture covers the Health and Safety Orders at the end of the Masonry manual.

Please be sure that you study all of the practice exams. It is important to read and understand each question, and read every word of the explanations. It is necessary to learn the principles behind the question because the State’s questions may be worded differently.

The C-29 Masonry Contractor’s Computer-Assisted Practice Tests are supplied on a computer disk which will load a software program on the student’s computer. The program presents questions one at a time, automatically scores the exam, presents the student with a grade, and lists each question answered incorrectly along with the correct answer.
