Q

A flat block placed under the end of a shore for the purpose of distributing pressure is referred to as a __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Shoring terminology used in damage control and cargo operations • The difference between a shore, strongback, and blocking pieces • How pressure from a shore is transmitted to a deck or bulkhead

💭 Think About

• Think about which term specifically describes something placed under the end of a shore, not the shore itself. • Ask yourself which option is meant to spread or distribute pressure over a wider area so it doesn’t crush the surface. • Consider which of these terms is commonly used for a separate piece of wood used for bearing or blocking rather than for bracing across an opening.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term is defined as a brace across or along a surface (this is NOT the one you want). • Confirm which term is associated with the end support of a shore, placed between the shore and the surface supported. • Eliminate any term that primarily refers to the main brace member rather than a small block used for pressure distribution.
