Question 1693Deck Safety70% to pass
Damaged bulkheads often take a permanent set which is independent of the panting or bulge caused by water pressure. To control this, you should _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) install shoring so the shoring supports the damaged bulkheads without pushing on them.
Damaged bulkheads often take a permanent set, meaning they become permanently deformed, which is independent of the temporary bulge caused by water pressure. To control this permanent set, the shoring should be installed in a way that supports the damaged bulkhead without pushing on it. This prevents further deformation and allows the bulkhead to remain in its proper position. The other options, such as using jacks or chain falls to remove the set or placing sandbags without installing shores, would not adequately address the permanent deformation of the bulkhead.
