the IBC is updated every
3 years
floor live load in a residential occupancy is assumed at
40 psf
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
