In the look-ahead meeting, the constraint is that sealant depth and bond-break control are needed. Which joint accessory should the project team carry?

Correct Answer

D) backer rod

backer rod best matches the stated condition. The other choices are real construction options in the same family, but they fit different field conditions.

Answer Options
A
sidewall primer only
B
tooled sealant without backing
C
rigid shim strip
D
backer rod

Why This Is the Correct Answer

backer rod best matches the stated condition. The other choices are real construction options in the same family, but they fit different field conditions.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: sidewall primer only

sidewall primer only belongs to a different file or record trail; it does not prove the sealant joint backing event.

Option B: tooled sealant without backing

tooled sealant without backing belongs to a different file or record trail; it does not prove the sealant joint backing event.

Option C: rigid shim strip

rigid shim strip belongs to a different file or record trail; it does not prove the sealant joint backing event.

Memory Technique

Sealant Joint Backing proof for Foreman Selecting: event, approval, receipt, follow-up.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: tab Principles and Practices of Commercial Construction, 10th Edition to Joint protection materials; backer rod and sealant installation; verify the construction method, material selection, equipment choice, or work sequence that fits the field condition.
