question 8
cracks in brickwork would not likely occur because of

• freeze/thaw action
• building settlement
• mechanical damage
• re - pointing
• thermal expansion

Explanation:

1. Siding materials cover the exterior of a building. Housewrap, stucco, plywood, and steel are commonly used for this purpose. Concrete block is mainly used for structural - load bearing and not typically as a siding material.
2. Freeze/thaw action, building settlement, mechanical damage, and thermal expansion can all cause cracks in brickwork. Re - pointing is the process of replacing the mortar between bricks and does not cause cracks in the brickwork itself.

Answer:

1. E. concrete block
2. D. re - pointing
