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
Prefabricated metal units often designed in sandwich constructions, integrating insulation and finishes. -
Modulus of Elasticity
Measurement indicating a material's ability to deform under stress and return to original dimensions. -
Peened
Process of embedding materials into surfaces for added durability. -
Plates
Flat pieces of steel used in various structural applications. -
Precast Prestressed Concrete Panels
Panels produced off-site, then transported for installation, offering efficient construction methods. -
Purlins
Beams set perpendicularly to trusses or rafters, providing essential support for roofs. -
Rakers
Diagonal beams that provide bracing for overall structural stability. -
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
Metal components designed to accommodate floor movement without disruption. -
Tee
I-beams bisected lengthwise to create “T”-shaped cross sections, enhancing versatility in construction. -
Tiebacks
Cold-drawn steel cables used to stabilize structures by anchoring into rock or soil. -
Tin Ceiling
Embossed steel panels for ceilings, known for heat transfer capabilities. -
Transfer Beam
Structural beam that redistributes vertical loads laterally, facilitating clear openings. -
Triaged
The process of evaluating and categorizing priorities in project management. -
Tube
