Q

Mortar Workability

A
  • Type M: below grade = 2500psi
  • Type S: loadbearing exterior = 1800 psi
  • Type N: non loadbearing exterior = 750 psi
  • Type O: historic restoration = 350 psi
  • The lower the psi the easier the workability, therefore chose lower before higher.

  2. Braced walls: diagonal crossing in rectangle structure. medium stiff.
  3. Moment-resistance frame: Less stiff. more for windows. ex: Wainwright building Louis Sullivan.

Where:

  1. Rigid core: where elevators, bathrooms, and stairs are.
  2. Rigid platform: stronger then in core.
28

Fire-proof Steel column: encase in reinforced concrete, enclosure in metal lath and plaster, enclosure in multiple layers of gypsum board, spray on fireproofing, loose insulating sheet metal enclosure, water filled box column

Fire Proof Steel beams and girders: encase in reinforced concrete, enclose in metal lath and plaster, rigid slab, fireproofing, spray on fireproofing, suspended plaster ceiling, flame shielded exterior spry on fireproofing inside.

29
Q

Steel construction process - column base

A
  1. light column -> welded base plate -> on steel plate
  2. larger column -> welded base plate -> on leveling nuts
  3. heavy column -> welded loose base plate –> on grout prior.
30
Q

Steel sustainability

A

Manufacture
- Mining: loss of wildlife & pollutes
- Emissions
- Can be recycled or reused
Construction and in service
- Paints and oils: air pollution
- Steel has smaller foundations = less excavation
- Spray-on fireproofing materials = pollute air
- Should be thermally broken and/or insulated

31
Q

Concrete - ingredients

A

coarse and fine aggregate, portland cement, water.

aggregates:
- volume: 3/4 of concrete is aggregates
- size particle for strength
- small enough to pass easily between reinforcing bars
- max diameter: thin slab (3/8”), slab and structure work (3/4” - 1 1/2”), massive structure like dams (6”)

32
Q

concrete - supplementary cementitious materials (various mineral products)

A

may be added to concrete mixtures as a substitute for som portion of the portland cement to achieve a range of benefits.
Pozzolans:
- What: volcano discharge.
- benefits:

fly ash:

  • residues generated in combustion.
  • benefits: improves workability. reduces drying shrinkage.

silica fume:

  • 100x finer then portland cement. by product of producing silicone metal.
  • benefits: strength. low-permeability.

blast furnaces:

  • what: by quenching molten iron slag.
  • benefts: improves workability, increases strength. reduces permeability.
33
Q

concrete - admixture

A

other ingredients. added to concrete to alter its properties in various of ways.

  • air entering: increases workability, reduce freeze-thaw damage
  • water reducing: allows reduction in the amount of mixing water.
  • accelerating: causes concrete to cure more rapidly.
  • retarding: causes concrete to cure slower. to allow more time to work with.
34
Q

Concrete - Building assembly - making and placing concrete

A

strength of cured concrete

  • amount of cement in mix
  • water-cement ratio (no greater then 45-60%)
    test: slump test for workability

compressive strength: taken to test lab 48 hours later –> cured for certain time –> tests compressive strength. If uncertain –> test cores drilled –> if bad: cut out defective and replace.

concrete segregates if:

  1. vibrates
  2. moves horizontally
  3. dropped 3-5 feet

curing: reached after 28 days but still strengthens within the 6 months.

35
Q

Concrete - Reinforcing - simple beam/continuous beam

A

concrete: resists compression forces.
horizontal beams: resists tension
vertical stirrups: resists diagonal tension near the ends of the beams = torosional twisting force

36
Q

Concrete - Reinforced - concrete slab

A

One-way: rectangular and has one beam.

Two-ways: square/nearly square and has 2 beams

  • stop steel for beam
  • shrinkage temperature bars
  • no vertical stirrups
  • concrete thickness acts as beam
37
Q

Prestressing

A

purpose: avoids concrete from cracking. 2 types.

Pre-tensioning:

  1. stretch steel
  2. cure/bond concrete to steel
  3. cut steel ends = concrete then moves into compression

post-tensioning

  1. concrete doesn’t cure/bond to steel
  2. add hydraulic jacks on ends. Steel beam is bent in opposite direction for higher efficiency.
38
Q

Site cast concrete framing system - Slab on grade

A

purpose: for roads, airport runways, basements, sidewalks.
1. remove topsoil to expose subsoil beneath
2. 3/4” of crushed stone 4” deep for drainage
3. vapor retarder
4. welded wire reinforcement
5. concrete (residential = 3”) (industrial = 6-8”) (airports = 300mm)
6. everything is surrounded by temporary edge for brace.

39
Q

selecting a site cast framing system (one-way or two-way)

A
  1. Is it square? 2-way
  2. finished ceiling? One-way or flat plate.
  3. How heavy are loads? Ordinary: two-way flat plate or one way joist system. Heavy: One-way
  4. How long are spans? 25-30’ = two-way. Longer = One-way
  5. Does the vertical stability h ave to be supported by concrete frame? One-way.

One-way Types: beam and girders, band slabs,, joist system and joist bands, welded joist system and joist bands.

Two-way: solid slab, drop panel and mushroom capital, flat plate, waffle.

Q

glass - ingredients

A

sand, soda ash, lime, alumina, potassium, oxide, elements for colouring.

42
Q

glass - annealed

A

slow coolig

43
Q

glass - tempered

A

heat-treated
purpose: safety glazing that has no frame ex: hockey rinks, basketball nets.
stress: higher residual stress then annealed
strength: x4 then annealed
breaks: squares
cuts/edged BEFORE heat-treatment

44
Q

glass - laminated

A

ingredients: polyvinyl butryal (PVB) between 2 glass.
- strength: weaker then annealed
- breaks: into the layer so doesn’t spread.
- sound & UV: sound is better then solid glass. UV is reduced transmission.

45
Q

glass - spandrel

A

A fritted glass on the interior where the floor intersects the glass. Contrasts with the surrounding glass.
- tempered or heat-strengthened

46
Q

glass - fritted

A

purpose: to reduce the amount of light and heat from entering building. dot-matrix or ceramic-frit.
colours: black: attracts heat.
white: avoids heat.

47
Q

glass - fire-rated

A

ingredients: double: gel between 2 tempered glass. or transparent intrimescent between 2 annealed glass.
times: temperered/laminate = 20min. Wired = 45 min. optical ceramic = 20min - 3h
purpose: for doors/windows to create a barrier from smoke entering.

48
Q

Insulating Glass

- and low emissivitty coating

A

why: Glass is a poor thermal insulation. Improve with double/triple glazing but still doesn’t compete with wall.

Further improve:

  1. prevent moisture by sealing units with pumped air-dry at manufacture.
  2. use stainless steel or broken aluminum spacers.
  3. Use desiccant chemical (aargon/krypton) improves 12-18%.
  4. close with primary and secondary seal.

Performance rated with U-factor and it’s R-value.

Classic: double-glazing is 1” thick with 1/4” airspace and 1/2” glass.

Low-e: ultra thin, transparent, colourless metallic to prevent solar radiation at different wavelengths.

  • hot climate: low-e located at 3 position.
  • cold climates: low-e locate at 2 position.

Q

Masonry - hot climates & cold climates

A

hot climates:

  • mortar dry’s faster
  • keep shaded
  • may have to be dampened

Cold climates:
- keep mortar dry
- protect from freezing temp before use
- warm mixture water
protect finsihed work from freezing 2-3 days
- protect wall from rain and snow
- no chemical acceleration or anti freeze mixture

52
Q

Masonry - Flashing and Drainage

A

Create weep holes at locations where water/moisture build up occurs. to prevent mold from growing.

below copings, above roof, cornice, ledge, lintel, window sill, base of wall, below grade.

53
Q

Masonry - expansion and contraction

A

expansion joints
control joints
abutment joints
= located near discontinuities and cracks.

54
Q

Masonry - efflorescence

A

masonry should be tested to see if it was water-dolluble salts. a white substance will drip down finsihe work. = problem in appearanec.
