Building Construction Management Vocab

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Unreinforced precast concrete panels that have glass fibers reinforcing the concrete. Consists of the GFRC skin - light-gauge steel backup frame - and anchors connecting the two together.






2. ...






3. Control Joint: A sawed or tooled joint on the top surface of a concrete slab-on-ground; a continuous vertical joint in a concrete masonry wall. Cold Joint: A nonmovement joint resulting when fresh concrete is placed against previously placed concrete






4. Pile: Driven or drilled long - slender foundation element. Pile: a piece of machinery used to drive piles into the ground.






5. A type of tempered glass obtained from a process that reduces (or eliminates) the possibility of spontaneous breakage of tempered glass during its service life.






6. Chemical compounds that are used in concrete mixes to increase the workability of the mix without reducing the slump.






7. Lengths of dimension lumber - glued and laminated together to create a structural member of a large cross section.






8. Place where materials are stored on or near the project site.






9. Contiguous Bored Concrete Piles: Closely spaced - reinforced concrete piles. Often has shock-crete sprayed on the front to make a wall. Secant Piles: Two sets of interlocking contiguous piles.






10. Slender - closely spaced - parallel beams in a wood light (or light-gauge steel) frame floor.






11. Material added to concrete mix to influence its performance.






12. Method of sawing a log by sawing in one or two directions only. The grain pattern varies from nearly parallel to the wide face to perpendicular. vs. A method of sawing lumber where the log is cut radially into four quarters and then sawed along radia






13. Rebar: An deformed steel bar used as concrete reinforcement. Welded-Wire Reinforcement: A prefabricated rectangular grid of steel wires spot-welded together at intersections - used as reinforcement in concrete slabs.






14. Used commonly for load-bearing wood - masonry - or concrete walls.






15. Pre-Construction - Construction - and Post-Construction Phases






16. Snug-tight = hand tightened by a worker. Slip-Critical = hand tightened - then extra tightening to a certain tensile strength. Shear resistance is provided by the friction between the connected surfaces.






17. A manufactured wood product rated for structural applications - such as plywood - oriented strandboard - or laminated veneer lumber.






18. Cost - Schedule - and Quality






19. A thin layer of material over a back-up component.






20. Soldier Piles are placed into pre-drilled holes that are filled with concrete after the piles are set. Excavation begins - and as the pit is dug deeper - lagging is bolted to the soldier piles to support them.






21. Friction Pile: Bears the load by using friction between it and the ground around it by having a tapered form. End-Bearing Piles: Most of the load is transferred to the bottom of the pile.






22. Construction Document






23. Friction Pile: Bears the load by using friction between it and the ground around it by having a tapered form. End-Bearing Piles: Most of the load is transferred to the bottom of the pile.






24. Exterior wall cladding system suspended from or supported by the structural frame of the building.






25. Shoring placed under concrete to support it while it cures.






26. A manufactured wood product rated for structural applications - such as plywood - oriented strandboard - or laminated veneer lumber.






27. Pile: Driven or drilled long - slender foundation element. Pile: a piece of machinery used to drive piles into the ground.






28. A fastener that connects an exterior cladding to the supporting frame to resist lateral loads






29. Advantages: High early strength Disadvantages: Very expensive






30. Cee Channel: Studs and joists - symbolized by S - Runner Channel: bridging channels - symbolized by you - Tracks: you shaped - symbolized by T






31. An L-shaped steel pin that connects to the GFRC skin with a bonding pad and is welded to the supporting light-gauge steel frame.






32. A beam that spans between columns on the exterior face of a frame structure.






33. Sump: Dig sump pits that are sufficiently below the elevation of the excavation - then use sump pumps to drain the water out of the pits and pump it away from the site. Well Point: A number of vertical pipes are sunk around the perimeter of the excav






34. One-Way Slab: An elevated reinforced concrete slab where most of the load on the slab is carried to the supporting beams in one direction; a four-sided - supported rectangular slab whose length is greater than or equal to twice its width. Two Way Sla






35. A framing system that mimics wood light frame construction - but the elements are made of cold-formed - galvanized sheet steel.






36. A legal document that regulates the design and construction of buildings to ensure that the buildings meet minimum standards of health - safety - and welfare.






37. Stone panels attached to a backup wall or curtain wall frame.






38. They review the plan sets to make sure they meet code requirements - then they will issue building permits if all codes and regulations are met. During the construction process - an inspector will be called to review the construction of specific part

39. Use air-entrainment in the concrete mix






40. An L-shaped steel pin that connects to the GFRC skin with a bonding pad and is welded to the supporting light-gauge steel frame.






41. M = Least amount of lime; O = Most lime; N = Second most lime; S = Second least lime






42. Shoring placed under concrete to support it while it cures.






43. A surface coating that reflects most of the long-wave radiation.






44. Flat glass obtained by heating and then gradually cooling it to relieve internal stresses that develop during the early stage of its manufacturing process. Annealed glass is the basic form of flat glass.






45. A rafter is one of a series of sloped structural members that extends from the ridge or the hip down to the downslope perimeter of the eave - designed to support the roof deck and its loads.






46. Include the width and height of the exit enclosures - fire resistance of materials used therein - and illumination levels in the exit enclosures.






47. Floating: The process of smoothing a freshly placed concrete surface after it has been struck (leveled).






48. Metal panels consisting of polyurethane foam sandwiched between and bonded to two metal sheets - used in curtain wall applications.






49. Construction Management






50. 10' - 15' discontinuous trenches are dug down to bedrock and filled with a bentonite slurry. Concrete is then pumped from the bottom up to create a waterproof wall for excavation pits.
