STRUCTURAL REVIEWER Flashcards
It identifies any
design, construction, or
environmental limitations at a
potential construction site.
It involves a comprehensive
examination of the site’s
topography, soil type, vegetation,
climate, existing structures and
utilities, and surrounding land
use
SITE SURVEY
is a vital procedure in
construction to identify the
properties and characteristics of
the soil on the construction site.
This gives important insights to
the soil composition, strength,
and stability, which is necessary
in order to make informed
decisions during the construction
process.
SOIL TESTING
the process of calculating and
determining the effects of loads
and internal forces on a structure,
building or object
STRUCTURAL COMPUTATION
are the
initial project plans of a
construction, development, or
tenant improvement project that
are produced to convey
concepts, design ideas, and
establish an understanding
among professionals, clients, and
project stakeholders
PRELIMINARY DRAWINGS
They are a comprehensive set of
documents that provide detailed,
graphical representations of a
building’s or structure’s
components. The primary
purpose of working drawings is to
illustrate how a structure should
be built, providing a clear and
concise guide for construction
teams
WORKING DRAWINGS
Changes
can occur for various reasons in
construction projects, the most
common being changes in
specifications, design, or
execution itself
CHECKING AND REVISIONS
It is the portion of the
structural element that
transmits the load of the
building to the underlying
soil of rock.
FOUNDATION
Types of foundation?
SHALLLOW FOUNDATION
DEEP FOUNDATION
What are the footings use in SHALLOW FOUNDATION?
ISOLATED FOOTING
COMBINED FOOTING
STRIP FOOTING
RAFT FOOTING
STRAP FOOTING
What are the footings use in DEEP FOUNDATION?
PILE FOUNDATION
DRILLED SHAFT FOUNDATION
CAISSONS FOUNDATION
It is the portion of the
structural element that
transmits the load of the
building to the underlying
soil of rock
FOUNDATION
reinforced concrete foundations are the portions of the foundations of a structure which directly transmits the column load to the underlying soil or rock.
FOOTING
Is a plan view drawing in section showing the location and size of footings piers, columns, foundation walls, and supporting beams.
FOUNDATION PLAN
commonly used for shallow foundations in order to carry and spread concentrated loads, caused for example by columns or pillars.
ISOLATED FOOTING
a type of foundation that supports two or more columns or walls by distributing the load to a wider area of soil.
COMBINED FOOTING
Also known as ‘wall footing’ is used to distribute the weight of a load-bearing wall over a floor area and can be made of plain or reinforced concrete.
STRIPPED FOOTING
a type of shallow foundation used in construction to distribute the load of a building or structure over a large area of soil.
RAFT / MAT FOOTING
Is a type of deep foundation used when the bearing capacity of soil is low, in under water construction, load of structure is high, location where shallow foundation is not possible, etc.
PILE FOUNDATION
It is also called as pier foundation is a watertight retaining structure used as a bridge pier, in the construction of a concrete dam, or for the repair of the ships.
CAISSON FOUNDATION
Vertical structural members that transmit loads of a building through compression.
COLUMNS
What are the types of COLUMNS?
1.RECTANGULAR COLUMN
2.CIRCULAR COLUMN
3.AXIALLY LOADED COLUMN
4.REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMN
Is a type of shallow foundation that carries the loads of a structural and non-structural wall and directly transmit it to the underlying soil.
WALL FOOTING
Refers to a floor that has been formed using concrete (and generally steel reinforcement) and may form part of the structure of a building.
FLOOR SLAB
Can be used to support the foundation and prevent it from collapsing when there are lateral loads, such as wind or earthquake forces acting on the building structure.
