Unit 14 - Footing Foundation & Floor Framing || Verified for
Accuracy.
bench mark correct answers a point established by the surveyor on or close to the building site. It
is used as a reference for determining elevations during the construction of a building.
contour lines correct answers Imaginary lines on a site/plot plan that connect points of the same
elevation. Contour lines never cross each other.
easement correct answers A legal right-of-way provision on another person's property (for
example, the right of a neighbor to build a road or a public utility to install water and gas lines on
the property). A property owner cannot build on an area where an easement has been identified.
elevation view correct answers A drawing giving a view from the front or side of a structure.
front setback correct answers The distance from the property line to the front of the building.
monuments correct answers Physical structures that mark the location of a survey point.
nominal size correct answers approximate or rough size (commercial sizd) by which lumber,
block, etc., is commonly known and sold, normally slightly larger than the actual size (for
example, 2 x 4s).
plan view correct answers A drawing that represents a view looking down on an object.
property lines correct answers The recorded legal boundaries of a piece of property.
quantity takeoff correct answers A procedure that involves surveying, measuring, and counting
all materials indicated on a set of drawings.
, riser diagram correct answers A schematic drawing that depicts the layout, components, and
connections of a piping system.
topographical survey correct answers An accurate and detailed drawing of a place or region that
depicts all the natural and man-made physical features, showing their relative positions and
elevations.
ACI correct answers American Concrete Institute
admixtures correct answers Materials that are added to a concrete mix to change certain
properties of the concrete such as retarding setting time, reducing water requirements, or making
the concrete easier to work with.
aggregates correct answers Materials used as filler in concrete; may include mixtures of sand,
gravel, crushed stone, crushed gravel, or blast-furnace slag.
axle-steel correct answers Deformed reinforcing bars that are rolloed from carbon-steel axles
used on railroad cars.
brace correct answers A diagonal supporting member used to reinforce a form against the weight
of the concrete.
cured concrete correct answers Concrete that has hardened and gained its structural strength.
flatwork correct answers Work connected with concrete slabs used for walks, driveways, patios,
and floors.
footing correct answers The base of a foundation system for a wall, column, and chimney. It
bears directly on the undisturbed soil and is made wider than the object it supports to distribute
the weight over a greater area.
