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. 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.






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






3. 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.






4. 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.






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






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






7. 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.






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






9. Use air-entrainment in the concrete mix






10. 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.






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






12. 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.






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






14. Include the width and height of the exit enclosures - fire resistance of materials used therein - and illumination levels in the exit enclosures.






15. 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.






16. ...






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






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






19. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






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






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. 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






23. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






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






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






26. 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.






27. Construction Management






28. 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.






29. 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.






30. Use air-entrainment in the concrete mix






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






32. ...






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






34. Include the width and height of the exit enclosures - fire resistance of materials used therein - and illumination levels in the exit enclosures.






35. Schematic Design






36. 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.






37. 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






38. Cost - Schedule - and Quality






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






40. 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.






41. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






48. 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
