Which of the following is a shoring type?

• A. I type
• B. S type
• C. Z type
• D. T type

Answer: (D)

In this setting, shoring types are about the shape of the shoring member and how that shape helps it brace a damaged area. A T-type shoring piece has a top crosspiece that can press against one surface while a vertical leg bears against another, creating a stable, lockable brace that distributes load and resists movement. That configuration is especially effective for supporting decks or bulkheads where you need a solid, three-point contact to prevent outward buckling and keep the structure in place. Because of this stability and versatility, a T-type shoring is the best choice for typical damage-control scenarios.

The other shapes don’t provide the same locking and load-distribution characteristics. They may be useful in different arrangements, but they don’t offer the same stability for the common shoring needs you’d encounter, which is why the T-type stands out as the correct option.
