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. Design Development






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






3. ...






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






5. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






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






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






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






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






11. 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.






12. 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.






13. 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.






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






15. 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.






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






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






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






19. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. 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.






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






28. 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






29. Advantages: High early strength Disadvantages: Very expensive






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






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






32. Parallel-Strand Lumber: Manufactured wood product composed of narrow strands of veneered lumber glued together - all oriented in the same direction to form a member of large cross section.






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






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






35. 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

36. 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.






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






38. 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.






39. 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.






40. Construction Management






41. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






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






43. Use air-entrainment in the concrete mix






44. ...






45. 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.
