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. 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.






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






4. 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

8. 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.






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






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

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






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






14. 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.

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






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






18. A type of concrete foundation where one large - combined footing is used for several columns and load-bearing walls - often for the entire building. A concrete slab-on-ground used as foundation for light frame buildings is the simplest type of mat fo






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

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






22. Design Development






23. Truss: a structural member with triangulated - linear elements - typically used for large spans. Bottom Chord:






24. Design-Bid-Build






25. 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






26. 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.






27. 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.






28. ...






29. Design-Build






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






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






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






33. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






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






35. 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.






36. ...






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






38. 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






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






40. 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.






41. Design-Bid-Build






42. Cost - Schedule - and Quality
