number of phases in a typical building project

5 phases

masterFormat consists of

50 divisions

Safety margin

Actual strength / required strength

The acronym ASTM stands for

American Society for Testing and MAterials

construction drawings of a building project are prepared during

CD stage of the project

MasterFormat was developed by

Construction Specifications Institute

In the MF Division 02 refers to

Existing

With respect to wind pressure a building site is classified by

Exposures B,C, D

Factor of safety

Failure stress / allowable stress

Shear force

Force / area

the international building code is written by the

International Code Council

CDs consist of

MEPF, structural and architectural

In the MF, Division 4 refers to

Masonry

MEPF

Mechanical, Electrical,Plumbing, Fire

The most fire-resistive type of construction is

Type I(A)

the IBC divides the types of construction into

Types I, II, III, IV, V

writing and periodically updating the building code is generally done by

a specialized independent agency

coordination of the building's design is done by the

architect

the design wind speed is referred to as the

basic wind speed

three surety bonds

bid bond, performance bond, payment bond

person in charge of enforcing a building code is called

building official

the material in an arch is primarily in

compression

the bearing strength in a material is closely related to its

compressive strength

contract document consists of

construction drawings and a project manual

before construction owner must apply for a

construction permit

loads that can be estimated with greatest certainty

dead loads

a building codes regulates

design of the building and construction of the building

in the MF windows are apart of

div 8 openings

T or F CmAA there is a contractor

false

t or f in traditional competitive bidding method the owner has separate contracts with the gc and the subc's

false

t or f: the projects economic feasibility and overall budget apart of the design phase

false

the architect uses construction drawings of a project to the owner

false

a surety bond is provided by the owner to the general contractor

false (contractor to bonding company)

record document set is prepared by the

general contractor

responsible for ensuring safety on a traditional construction site

general contractor

the two main categories under which all building loads may be classified

gravity loads and lateral loads

modulus of elasticity refers to

how stiff a material is

on a leeward wall the wind pressure

is almost constant with height above the ground

in relation to compressive stength, the tensile strength of concrete is

much lower

program for a building project is usually provided by the

owner

A zoning ordinance refers to regulations that pertain mainly to

the use of land within a city

FAR

total built up area / total land area

A material that is weak in tension is weak in shear and bending

true

certificate of occupancy predates the substantial completion inspection of the project

true

concrete is an elastic material

true

low-carbon steel is an elastic-plastic material

true

construction drawings of a building project are in the form of

two- d plans, elevations, sections, and details

when we determine the strength of concrete using the test specimens we determine the concrete's

ultimate compressive stress

in a stress strain diagram, stress is plotted on the

vertical axis
