Q

The procedure of strengthening damaged structures on a MODU by using wood or steel is called __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Damage control on MODUs and ships: temporary support of weakened bulkheads, decks, or frames • Difference between supporting a structure vs. covering/protecting it • Common DC (damage control) terms: blocking, bracing, shoring, battening

💭 Think About

• Which term is used in damage control manuals for installing timbers or steel to take the load off a damaged bulkhead or deck? • Think about firefighting and flooding situations: what do you call the timbers/steel members set at an angle or upright to support a weak structure? • Which option describes structural support rather than securing loose items or filling spaces?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term specifically means temporary structural support for a weakened or damaged area • Eliminate any terms that mainly refer to securing cargo/gear rather than supporting the ship’s structure • Recall that in DC training, there is a standard term for timbers/steel placed to support bulkheads, decks, or doors under strain
