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. Cost - Schedule - and Quality






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






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






4. 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.






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






6. 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.






7. Lumber that ranges from 2 in. to 4 in. thick. The actual dimensions are smaller than the nominal dimensions.






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






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






10. Design-Bid-Build






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






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






13. Wood into which preservatives have been pressure injected to retard termite infestation and fungal decay. Using a different preservative - the pressure treatment can also be used for increasing the fire resistance of wood.






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






15. Design-Build






16. Use air-entrainment in the concrete mix






17. 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.






18. 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.






19. 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.






20. Advantages: High early strength Disadvantages: Very expensive






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






22. ...






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






24. Used where columns are lightly loaded or bear on soils with a high bearing capacity.






25. ...






26. Use air-entrainment in the concrete mix






27. 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






28. Shallow Foundation: Used for all types of buildings and bear directly on the upper soil levels. Deep Foundation: Used where soil on the surface does not have adequate strength or is unstable. Consists of piles or piers.






29. 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

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






31. ...






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






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






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






35. 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.






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






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






38. 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.






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






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






41. Design-Build






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






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.






44. 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






45. 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.






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






47. 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.






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






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






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