🔍 Key Concepts

• Shoring systems components and their specific functions during damage control or emergency repairs • Difference between strongbacks, sholes, wedges, and beams in supporting and tightening a shore • Importance of devices that can be tightened or driven to take up slack and that may loosen over time

💭 Think About

• Which item on the list is designed to be adjustable or driven in to take up a small gap, rather than being cut to an exact length? • Think about which component would most likely need to be re‑checked for tightness as the structure settles or as the ship moves. • For each option, ask yourself: is it mainly for support, bearing, spreading load, or tightening?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which shoring component is specifically described as being used in pairs to tighten a shore or make up small differences in length. • Check which item is typically placed between the end of the shore and the supporting surface to take up slack. • Confirm from your study materials which component is called out as requiring frequent checking for tightness as part of shoring watch procedures.
