Study Notes

Materials and Structural Components

Aluminum
Lightweight, malleable, nonmagnetic metal with excellent conductivity. Noncombustible with a low melting point, disintegrates quickly in fire.
Angle Steel
Structural member featuring two legs positioned at right angles, providing strength and stability.
Asphalt Asbestos Protected Metal (AAPM)
Combustible asphalt coating utilized as a protective weather coating on galvanized steel walls.
Bar Plate
Steel component measuring less than 6 inches (15.2 cm) in width, available in square or round forms.
Bar Joist
Lightweight structural element running parallel to beams, supporting floors and roofing systems.
Box Column
Hollow columns constructed from steel plates, providing robust vertical support.
Box Girder
Large, hollow girder resembling a box column, commonly used in highway bridge construction.
Bulbtee
Tee section with thickened ends for enhanced structural performance.
Bulkheads
Vertical partitions within a ship that compartmentalize spaces to prevent leakage or fire spread.
Castellated Beam
A wide flange beam sliced in a zig-zag pattern and reassembled, resulting in an expanded beam depth.
Cement-Asbestos Board
Noncombustible material used in construction, particularly effective in friable contexts.
Channel
Steel component with a square “U”-shaped cross section, ideal for various structural applications.
Galvanized Steel Walls
Weatherized steel walls with high thermal conductivity, suitable for diverse building environments.
Glass Fiber–Reinforced Plastic
Composite of plastic combined with glass fibers, known for its strength and lightweight properties.
I-Beam
Structural beam shaped like the letter "I," widely used for its strength and stability.
Interstitial Space
Space created by deep parallel-chord trusses, often utilized for utility routing.
Lattice Column
Column formed from vertical members linked with diagonal connections, optimizing strength.
Light Gauge Steel-Framed Wall
Exterior walls made of lightweight galvanized steel studs, popular in modern construction.
Masonry Walls
Common wall type in unprotected steel-framed buildings, made from concrete blocks or brick-composite.
Metal Panel

Rolled or Built-Up Members
Two types of steel structural beams: rolled members are single pieces, while built-up members consist of multiple sections joined.
Spandrel Girder
A structural element that connects wall columns in framed buildings, providing support and stability.
Spandrel Space
The gap between the top of one window and the base of the one above it.
Steel Expansion Joints
