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






2. 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






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






4. 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.






5. 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.






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






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






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






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






10. Construction Document






11. ...






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






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






14. Design-Build






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






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






17. 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






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






19. ...






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






21. 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.






22. ...






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






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






25. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






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






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






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






29. Sump: Dig sump pits that are sufficiently below the elevation of the excavation - then use sump pumps to drain the water out of the pits and pump it away from the site. Well Point: A number of vertical pipes are sunk around the perimeter of the excav






30. Schematic Design






31. 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.






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






33. ...






34. 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

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






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






37. ...






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






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






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






41. 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.






42. 10' - 15' discontinuous trenches are dug down to bedrock and filled with a bentonite slurry. Concrete is then pumped from the bottom up to create a waterproof wall for excavation pits.






43. Friction Pile: Bears the load by using friction between it and the ground around it by having a tapered form. End-Bearing Piles: Most of the load is transferred to the bottom of the pile.






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






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






46. 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.






47. Construction Management






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






49. Design-Build






50. 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.
