J-Programming, Site, Foundations Flashcards
Gives a physical/design solution for a problem
Design concept
States the problem.
no solution or strategy given
Programming statement
Owner provided data for analysis/
creation of the facilities program
Functional program
Program that considers scope, area minimums and adjacencies, ballpark costs and site analysis
Facilities program
Programming process
Establish goals Gather data Find relationships Establish priorities State the problem
Market, trade, or tributary area
Catchment area
Residential catchment area determined by
Local transit systems
Geotechnical test to determine soil density
Proctor compaction test

Guide meridians run between
Principal meridians
Designed to temporarily hold water while draining into another location
Detention pond
Designed to hold water indefinitely
Retention pond
determine the reasonable use and allocations of water to owners of waterfront property.
Riparian rights
Water that flows across paved surfaces
Sheet flow
Radiant energy reflected by a surface
0 - black
1 - mirror
Albedo
Speed with which heat passes through a material
Conductivity
Constant & moderate temperature
Islands and coastal region
Low humidity & greater temperature variations
Arid/desert region
Winds are forced to rise
Mountainous region
1 acre
43,560 square feet
Land value determination in relation to similar parcels
Comparison method
Land value determination using estimates of selling price, time
Development method
Land value determination using estimated potential income
Residual method
Income approach method
Land value determination approach deducting the value of site improvements to get the value of the land
Allocation method
How far should borings extend past firm strata
20 feet
Most economical and typical foundation type applying the load directly to the soil
Spread footing
Expensive foundation type used only when the strata is week and acts as one continuous foundation
Mat foundation
Holes are drilled to firm strata and concrete is poured
Belled caissons
Foundation type drilled deep into the strata with barring capacity coming from frictional forces and and bearings
Socketed caissons
2 to 3 times the cost of spread footings these are driven until the tip meets from resistance from the strata
End bearing piles
