Building Tech Book 1 Flashcards
The art, science, and business of building,
the process of building from site preparation through erection, asembly and finishing
the manner in which materials are ordered, assembled and united into a whole as frame construction
all on-site work done from site preparation, excavation, foundation, assembly of all the components and installation of utilities and equipment of building or structure.
Construction
Installation in place of components of a building or structure
Erection
Any cosntruction which increases the height or area of an existing building or structure
addition
construction in a building/structure involving changes in the materials used, partitioning, location and size of openings, structural parts, existing utilities and equipment but does not increase the overall area thereof.
Alteration
Any physical change made on a building or structure to increase its value, utility and or to improve its aesthetic quality.
Renovation
A change in the use or occupancy of a building or structure or any portions thereof which has different requirements.
Conversion
Remedial work done on any damaged or deteriorated portion/s of a building to restore its original condition.
Repair
The transfer of any building or structure or portions thereof from tis original location or position to another, either within the same lot or to a different one.
Moving
The systematic dismantling or destruction of a building or structure, in whole or in part.
Demolition
Types of Construction
buildings shall be of wood construction.
Type I
Types of Construction
building shall be of wood construction with protective fire resistant materials and one hour fire resistive throughout, except that permanent non bearing partitions may use fire retardant treated wood within the framing assembly.
Type II
Types of Construction
shall be of masonry and wood construction. Exterior walls shall be of incombustible fire resistive construction
Type III
Types of Construction
buildings shall be of steel, iron, concrete or masonry construction. Walls,ceilings and permanent partitions shall be of incombustible fire resistive construction, except that permanent non bearing partitions of one hour fire resistive construction may use fire retardant treated wood within the framing assembly.
Type IV
Types of Construction
buildigns shall be fire resistive. The structural elements shall be of steel, iron, concrete or masonry construction Wall, ceilings and permanent partitions shall be of incombustbile fire resistive construction.
4 hour fire-resistive
Type V
Fire retardant chemical are coated not impregnated in the wood.
Fire Retardant Coated Wood
a wood that is impregnated with Fire retardant chemicals.
Fire-Retardant Treated Wood (FRTW)
material used is “Foshcheck”, which is 85% water, 10% fertilizer, 5% iron oxide and Bentonite
Fire-retardant Chemical
The legal documents comprising a construction contract, including the owner-contractor agreement, conditions of the contract, and the construction drawings and specifications for the project, including all addenda, modification and any other items stipulated as being specifically included.
Contract Documents
The construction drawings and specifications setting forth in detail the requirements for the construction of a project.
Construction Documents
The part of the contract documents consisting of a detailed description of the technical nature of the materials, standards and quality of execution of the work to be placed under contract.
Specifications
A format developed by the consturction Specifications INstitute for the coordinating specifications, filing of tehcnical data and product literature, and construction cost, accounting, organized into 16 divisions based on an interrelationship of material, trade or function.
