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






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






3. Design Development






4. 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.






5. 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.






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






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






9. ...






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






11. 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

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






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






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






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






16. Differential: The building's foundation settles at different rates at different points. Uniform: The building's foundation settles at a uniform rate.






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






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






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






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






21. 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.






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






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

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






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






27. Construction Document






28. 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.






29. Laminated Veneer Lumber: Dried wood veneers laminated in layers - all oriented in the same direction - to form a large structural member.






30. 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.






31. Construction Management






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






33. Wood into which preservatives have been pressure injected to retard termite infestation and fungal decay. Using a different preservative - the pressure treatment can also be used for increasing the fire resistance of wood.






34. ...






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






36. Use air-entrainment in the concrete mix






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






38. Design-Bid-Build






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






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






41. 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.






42. Oriented Strandboard: A wood-based panel made by gluing several layers of wood strands under heat and pressure so that the adjacent layers are oriented in opposite directions.






43. 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.






44. 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.






45. 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






46. 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
