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.

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






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






17. Pre-Construction - Construction - and Post-Construction Phases






18. 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.






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






20. Design-Bid-Build






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






22. 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.






23. 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






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






25. 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.






26. Design Development






27. Design-Build






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






29. 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






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






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






32. Two pieces of glass laminated under heat and pressure to a plastic interlayer to form a fused unit.






33. 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.






34. 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.






35. Construction Management






36. 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.






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






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






39. 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






40. Prescriptive codes give a clear - defined method for meeting a requirement. Performance codes allow the designer to decide how to meet the end requirement that must be met.






41. 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.






42. A type of glass made by adding a metallic pigment during manufacture.

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






45. 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.
