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. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






2. 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.






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






4. 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






5. Snug-tight = hand tightened by a worker. Slip-Critical = hand tightened - then extra tightening to a certain tensile strength. Shear resistance is provided by the friction between the connected surfaces.






6. 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.






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






8. 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.






9. Cost - Schedule - and Quality






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






11. 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.






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






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






14. 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.






15. ...






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






17. 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.






18. 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

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






20. Construction Management






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






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






23. Snug-tight = hand tightened by a worker. Slip-Critical = hand tightened - then extra tightening to a certain tensile strength. Shear resistance is provided by the friction between the connected surfaces.






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






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






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






27. 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.






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






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






30. 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.






31. Use air-entrainment in the concrete mix






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






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






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






35. 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.






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






37. 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






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






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






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






41. 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.






42. 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.






43. ...






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






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






46. 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.






47. 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.






48. 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.






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






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