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. Construction Document






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






3. 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.






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






5. 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.






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






7. 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






8. ...






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






10. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






16. Use air-entrainment in the concrete mix






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






18. 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.






19. 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.






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






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






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






23. 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.






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






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






26. Advantages: High early strength Disadvantages: Very expensive






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






28. 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.






29. Construction Management






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






31. 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






32. Design-Bid-Build






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






34. Use air-entrainment in the concrete mix






35. Design Development






36. Pre-Construction - Construction - and Post-Construction Phases






37. A rafter is one of a series of sloped structural members that extends from the ridge or the hip down to the downslope perimeter of the eave - designed to support the roof deck and its loads.






38. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






39. Design-Build






40. 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.






41. 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.






42. Concrete: A composite material consisting of portland cement - coarse aggregate (crushed stone) - fine aggregate (sand) - and water.






43. Material added to concrete mix to influence its performance.






44. 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.






45. 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.






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






47. 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.






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






49. 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
