Cantilever shoring
-
B.
Dead shoring
-
C.
Raking shoring
-
D.
Flying shoring
Correct Answer:
C. Raking shoring
Explanation:
The correct answer is Raking shoring.
Raking shoring is a temporary support system that utilizes inclined timber or steel members, known as rakers, to provide lateral stability to unsafe or bulging walls. During the repair of a building, these shores transfer the weight of the structure to the ground at an angle, typically between 45 and 75 degrees. This method is specifically chosen when a wall requires external reinforcement to prevent collapse while structural maintenance or foundation repairs are being performed. Unlike dead shoring, which provides vertical support, or flying shoring, which supports parallel walls without touching the ground, raking shores are the primary solution for stabilizing individual walls that have become structurally unsound.
