Which of the following types of junction is formed when two walls intersect at an acute angle?
-
A.
Skew junction
-
B.
Mitred junction
-
C.
Butt junction
-
D.
Lap junction
Correct Answer:
B. Mitred junction
Explanation:
The correct answer is Mitred junction.
A mitred junction is established when two walls meet at an angle other than 90 degrees, typically an acute angle. In this construction technique, the ends of both walls are cut at a complementary angle so they fit together seamlessly, ensuring structural continuity and a clean finish at the intersection. While a skew junction also involves non-perpendicular walls, a mitred junction specifically refers to the angled cutting and joining of the wall faces to form the corner. This type of joint is essential in masonry and brickwork to maintain the bond and aesthetic appearance when architectural designs require sharp, non-rectangular turns.
