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






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






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






4. 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.






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






6. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






12. Fabricated at the manufacture's plant. Reinforced in both directions. Uses a steel stud backup wall.






13. 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.






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






15. Design-Bid-Build






16. 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.






17. Metal panels consisting of polyurethane foam sandwiched between and bonded to two metal sheets - used in curtain wall applications.






18. Schematic Design






19. Metal panels consisting of polyurethane foam sandwiched between and bonded to two metal sheets - used in curtain wall applications.






20. 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

21. Design Development






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






23. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






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






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






26. 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.






27. 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






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






29. Design Development






30. ...






31. 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






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






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






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






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






36. ...






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






38. 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.






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






40. 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.






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

43. Construction Document






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






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






46. A glass that reflects incoming visible radiation due to a very thin metal oxide coating on one side.






47. 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.






48. Pre-Construction - Construction - and Post-Construction Phases






49. 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.






50. 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.
