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






2. ...






3. 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.






4. 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.






5. Pre-Construction - Construction - and Post-Construction Phases






6. The ability of a building assembly to endure fire - measured in hours or minutes of time and determined from standardized full-scale tests.






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






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






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






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






11. A large-diameter - deep reinforced-concrete foundation element made by drilling a hole into the ground and filling it with concrete; an enclosure that permits excavation work to be carried out under water.






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






13. A document that describes regulations for the use of land in a particular jurisdiction.






14. Use air-entrainment in the concrete mix






15. Advantages: High early strength Disadvantages: Very expensive






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






17. 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.






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






19. A document that describes regulations for the use of land in a particular jurisdiction.






20. 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






21. Draining the soil around the excavations so that the groundwater level falls below the elevation of proposed excavation.






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






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






24. Construction Management






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






26. 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.






27. Laminated Veneer Lumber: Dried wood veneers laminated in layers - all oriented in the same direction - to form a large structural member.






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






29. 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.






30. A ceiling hung from the overlying floor or roof structure.






31. Advantages: High early strength Disadvantages: Very expensive






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






33. 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.






34. 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.






35. 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.






36. 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.






37. ...






38. 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.






39. Post-tentioning: Subjecting a concrete or masonry member to compressive stresses by tensioning high-strength steel strands (wires) after the concrete has developed sufficient strength.






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






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






42. Oriented Strandboard: A wood-based panel made by gluing several layers of wood strands under heat and pressure so that the adjacent layers are oriented in opposite directions.






43. 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.






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






45. 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.






46. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






47. 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






48. ...






49. Design Development






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