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 city - town - etc. having its own incorporated government for local affairs






2. The effect or illusion of motion conveyed by the relationship of structural elements in a design or composition






3. Entrance or means to enter






4. The aspect of the appearance of objects and light sources that may be described in terms of hue - lightness - and saturation for objects and hue - brightness - and saturation for light sources






5. Force per unit area






6. A fitting that is used to control the flow of fluid or gas






7. Entrances or a means to enter






8. Legal requirements designed to protect the public by providing guidelines for structural - electrical - plumbing - and mechanical areas of a structure






9. Stress or prominence given to an element of a composition by means of contrast - anomaly - or counterpoint






10. The principal pip artery to which branches are connected






11. A permanent on-site pond used to manage storm water in which pollutants are allowed to settle out or be removed by biological activity






12. A force that is internal to structural elements and is needed to determine the material stress and strain






13. Reducing waste by changing patterns of production and consumption






14. Ratio of the maximum design load to the weight of the structure






15. Survey that establishes a network of horizontal and vertical monuments that serve as a reference framework for other surveys






16. A force that acts along the longitudinal axis of a structural member. Axial tension causes elongation of the member. Axial compression causes shortening of the member






17. Five broad categories of construction found in the International Building Code that are based on the fire-resistive capabilities of the materials used






18. A number that indicates the portion of rainwater that will be discharged by a particular surface






19. A system for disposal of domestic sewage by means of a septic tank cesspool mechanical treatment to serve a single establishment or building






20. A grid of steel wires or bars welded together at all points of intersection to form an open mat. The fabric is designated by the size of the grid (spacing of the wires) in inches followed by numbers indicating the gauge of the wire in each direction






21. A structural wall that carries loads other than its own weight






22. The recognized accreditor for college and university programs in applied science - computing - engineering - and technology






23. An instrument used to measure electric power






24. Wall construction utilizing a framework of vertical posts and horizontal beams to carry floor and roof loads






25. A measure of the probable discharge into the drainage system by various types of plumbing fixtures






26. A wide shallow footing usually constructed of reinforced concrete






27. Pipes - typically made of sheet metal - used to conduct hot or cold air in the HVAC system






28. A beam which is supported such that the number of unknown reaction forces is equal to the number of equilibrium equations






29. A vertical pipe installed to provide circulation of air to and from any part of the drainage system






30. A floor that is above the level of the ground






31. A beam which is supported such that the number of unknown reaction forces is greater than the number of equilibrium equations






32. A support condition in which translation of a structural member is restricted in two directions but rotation is not restricted. A pin support provides two perpendicular reaction forces when the member is loaded`






33. The science of determining relative positions of points on or near the Earth's surface






34. Five broad categories of construction found in the International Building Code that are based on the fire-resistive capabilities of the materials used






35. A unit designed to produce forced air or hot water for heating and cooling






36. Energy radiated or transmitted as rays or waves - in the form of particles`






37. The process of heat transfer through a solid by transmitting kinetic energy from one molecule to the next






38. The state of a body such that the sum of all the external forces acting on the body equals zero and the sum of all external moments acting on the body equals zero






39. The maximum stress a material subjected to a stretching load can withstand without tearing






40. Surveys to determine relative positions of widely spaced points which require consideration of the size and shape of the Earth






41. Exits or a way out






42. Any heating appliance or equipment that heats potable water and supplies such water to the potable hot water distribution system






43. A long cylindrical reinforced concrete foundation element formed by drilling into firm soil and pouring concrete into the hole






44. A principle where some graphic elements are repeated throughout the entire design






45. All areas (including the frames) in the building envelope that let in light - including windows - plastic panels - clerestories - skylights - glass doors that are more than one-half glass - and glass block walls. A skylight is a fenestration surface






46. The pipe from the water main or other supply to the water-distributing pipes






47. Legal requirements designed to protect the public by providing guidelines for structural - electrical - plumbing - and mechanical areas of a structure






48. A roof membrane laminated from layers of asphalt-saturated felt or other fabric - bonded together with bitumen or pitch






49. An engineer trained in the design and construction of public works - such as bridges or dams - and other large facilities






50. The professional society representing the field of architecture and others working in the architecture field
