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. Control Joint: A sawed or tooled joint on the top surface of a concrete slab-on-ground; a continuous vertical joint in a concrete masonry wall. Cold Joint: A nonmovement joint resulting when fresh concrete is placed against previously placed concrete






2. ...






3. 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






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






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






6. 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.






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






8. ...






9. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






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






11. ...






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






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






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






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






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






17. 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.






18. 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.






19. 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.






20. 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.






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






22. ...






23. 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.






24. 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.






25. ...






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






27. 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.






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






29. 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.






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






31. Construction Management






32. 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

33. 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.






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






35. Advantages: High early strength Disadvantages: Very expensive






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






37. Design-Bid-Build






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






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






40. 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.






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






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






43. 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
