Subject BUILDING TECHNOLOGY
SHOULDER MITER - A miter joint having a raised surface to limit motion
between joined parts
SATIN - A paint finish having a moderate, satiny luster, producing a finish
midwaybetween high gloss and eggshell, also caled semigloss
2 YEARS - The complete records of test conduction (slump, compression test,
etc.) shall be preserved and made available for inspection during the progress of
construction and after completion of the projects for a period of not less than __.
PRIMER - A basecoat applied to a surface to improve the adhesion of subsequent
coats of paint or varnish
GLAZED COAT - A thin coat of transparent color applied to enhance the color of
a painted surface
FIGURED WIRED GLASS - A type of shutter proof opaque glass used to construct
a door with glass to allow natural light only
GRADE BEAM - What is a concrete beam placed directly on the ground to
provide foundation for the superstructure?
COMMON NAILS - A nail having a slender shank, a flat head, and a diamond
point. Commonly used for general construction
BUILDING TECHNOLOGY 1
, CRESCENT TRUSS - A truss having both top and bottom chords curving upward
from a common point at each side; also known as camelback truss
CANTILEVER BEAM - A beam that projects beyond one or both its support
BALLOON FRAMING - The building frame construction system that uses one-
piece structural stud from the foundation to the roof
TEMPERED GLASS - Glass used in commercial establishments
POLYURETHANE FLOOR COATING - A special coating system with a high glos
shine while maintaining the natural wood qualities, maintenance free, used to
finish and topcoat wood flooring
CONTRACTION JOINT - An expansion joints adjacent parts of a structure to
permit expected movements between them
SET SCREW - A screw, often without head, threaded through a hole in one part
tightly upon or into another part to prevent relative movement
SCARF JOINT - A type of wood end joint where both wood are cut at equal angles
diagonally
SPIKE - A large heavy nail used for fastening heavy timbers
ACCELERATORS - An admixture which is used to speed up the initial set of
concrete. Such a material may be added to the mix to increase the rate of early-
strength development for several reasons.
PEELING - A paint defect which indicates imperfect adhesion of paint to the
surface, with the film getting stripped off in a relatively large pieces due to
application on damp or greasy surface
STRIPPING - The process of removing concrete forms from the cured concrete
LINTEL - A horizontal piece of wood, stone, steel, or concrete across the top of
door or window opening to bear the weight of the walls above the opening
STUCCO FLOOR FINISH - A concrete flooring and finish which transforms
ordinary plain concrete into an elegant and decorative textured surface. THis is
done by adding dust-on-color pigments to the concrete to give a fast color and
imprinted with a patented pattern and texture while the concrete is still plastic
to create the look and finish of stone, slate, or brick.
LIVE LOAD - It refers to the occupancy load which either partially or fully in
place or may not be present at all
