Exam 1 Flashcards
Types of building loads
Static- dead Dynamic Live Compression Tension Point loads Moment Uniform No uniform Deflection Shear Non load bearing wall Load bearing wall
Static load
Leadings that remain fixed (structure, built in amenities, and equipment)
Dynamic loads
Leadings the fluctuate due to natural events (wind and earth quakes)
Live loads
Loads that gradually fluctuate overtime (people, water(rain), snow and mobile equipment)
Compression
The pushing together of a material that results in a deduction in depth and volume
Tension
The stretching of a material that results in a deformation of elongation
Point loads
A smaller singular point of contact
Moment
A rotational force causing something to bend clockwise or counter clockwise
Uniform
A force spread over an area with even pressure and loading
Nonuniform
A variable force spread over an area of pressure and loading
Deflection
The bending deformation caused when a beam or a column is expirencing a load
Shear
The movement of parallel forces moving in opposite directions
Non load bearing wall
A wall assembly that only supports its own weight
Load bearing wall
A wall assembly that supports its own weight and spread the top load over its entire surface
Way to test hydration in concrete
Slump test
Wood cut patterns
Plain- sideways in lines
Rift- pointing in radial not completely along side each other directly pointing to center
Quarter- pointing in completely side by side not directly pointing at center
Visual- distortions is the wood variation in knots
Defects- knots, open knots, missing tongues, machine burns, splits and length
Finish purposes- rustic- largest knots with greatest color variation
Grading lumber
Bow Crook Kink Cup Twist
Brick orientations
Look at picture Stretcher Shiner Rowlock Header Sailor Soldier
Joint vs mortar
Joint- a mortar bond between masonry units
Mortar- a cement mixture of sand lime and cement mixed with water
Course
Arrange bricks in a row
Of headers- short end facing out
Of stretchers- long end facing out
Bond
Pattern of arranging bricks to ensure structural stability, offset the courses within the wall spread out the load evenly instead of straight down( off set rows of brick)
Quoin bricks
The corner condition where bricks interlock
Application types of concrete
Poured in place- into forms where it will set finished and remain indefinitely
Molds- forms that are premade to hold liquid concrete until it sets to keep shape
