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. Cost - Schedule - and Quality






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






3. 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






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






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






6. 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.






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






8. 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.






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






10. 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






11. 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.






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






13. Construction Management






14. 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.






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






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






17. 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.






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






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






20. 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.






21. Design-Build






22. Advantages: High early strength Disadvantages: Very expensive






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






24. 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.






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






26. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






27. ...






28. Construction Document






29. 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.






30. 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

31. Design Development






32. Advantages: High early strength Disadvantages: Very expensive






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






34. 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






35. 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.






36. Sheet steel that is hot-dip galvanized.






37. 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






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






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






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






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






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. 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






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






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






46. 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.






47. 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.






48. 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
