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






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






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






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






5. A fastener that connects an exterior cladding to the supporting frame to resist lateral loads






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






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






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






9. ...






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






11. Concrete: A composite material consisting of portland cement - coarse aggregate (crushed stone) - fine aggregate (sand) - and water.






12. Use air-entrainment in the concrete mix






13. Advantages: High early strength Disadvantages: Very expensive






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






22. 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.






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






24. 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.






25. Concrete: A composite material consisting of portland cement - coarse aggregate (crushed stone) - fine aggregate (sand) - and water.






26. 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.






27. 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

28. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






29. 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.






30. 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.






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






32. 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.






33. 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.






34. Construction Management






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






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






37. A fastener that connects an exterior cladding to the supporting frame to resist lateral loads






38. 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.






39. 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.






40. Construction Document






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






42. 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.






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






44. 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.






45. Design-Build






46. 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
