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. A panelized material applied to the exterior surfaces of wood or light-gauge steel frame members to add rigidity to the frame and to serve as a base for (wall) cladding or roofing.






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






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






4. A panelized material applied to the exterior surfaces of wood or light-gauge steel frame members to add rigidity to the frame and to serve as a base for (wall) cladding or roofing.






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

7. Pre-Construction - Construction - and Post-Construction Phases






8. Exterior Sheathing - Water resistant membrane - flashing with weep holes - self-adhering rubberized asphalt membrane - self-furring metal base - scratch coat - brown coat - finish coat.






9. Cost - Schedule - and Quality






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






11. Type 1: General Use - Type 2: -Type 3: High Early Strength - Type 4: Low Heat of Hydration - Type 5: Sulfate Resistant






12. Differential: The building's foundation settles at different rates at different points. Uniform: The building's foundation settles at a uniform rate.






13. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






14. Construction Document






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






16. 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.






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






18. The combination of high-strength steel strands - sleeves - and end anchorages used for post-tensioning concrete.






19. A test that measures the workability of fresh concrete by filling a cone-shaped mold with concrete - removing the mold - and measuring the height to which the concrete settles below its original height.






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






21. 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.






22. 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






23. Using concrete slab blankets or putting hot water in the concrete mix.






24. 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

28. 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






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






30. Hollow Core Slabs: Precast - prestressed concrete slabs that contain voids in their central region that reduce dead loads by 40-50%. - Planks: Precast concrete slabs that are solid.






31. A stuccolike exterior finish that includes a layer of foam insulation - fiberglass reinforcing mesh - and one or two coats of a polymer-based finish - also called synthetic stucco.






32. I - C - L - T - Pipes - Tubes - round - Rectangular bars - plates






33. Piles made of interlocking sheet steel driven into the ground to support an excavation. Shoring: Temporary vertical or inclined supports used in concrete formwork or excavation.






34. A structural frame assembly composed primarily of dimension lumber studs - floor joists - and roof rafters and panels of wood-based sheathing materials. Usually 16' OC.






35. Design Development






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






37. The combination of high-strength steel strands - sleeves - and end anchorages used for post-tensioning concrete.

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






41. Load=bearing or non-load bearing wall to which exterior cladding is adhered or anchored.






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






43. Wrought iron is corrosive resistant - time consuming to make - and contains about .02% carbon. VS. Mild Steel contains .1-2.5% carbon and is much stronger and easier to make.

45. Advantages: High early strength Disadvantages: Very expensive






46. A glass obtained by heating annealed glass to a high temperature and then suddenly cooling it - Which makes it four times stronger than annealed glass; used as safety glass because it breaks into pieces that are small and blunt enough not to cause in
