30. Concrete Joints Control joint- an intentional, linear discontinuity in a structure or component, designed to form a plane of weakness where cracking can occur.
31. Concrete Joints Isolation joint are used to relieve flexural stresses due to vertical movement of slab-on-grade applications that adjoin fixed foundation elements such as columns, building or machinery foundations, etc. Here the joint adjoins a sidewalk to the slab of a building.
32. Concrete Masonry Unit 1 CMU (8x8x16)= 3 bricks. CMU- a block of hardened concrete, with or without hollow cores, designed to be laid in the same manner as brick or stone.
37. Doors Transom- a window sash above a door Sidelights- a strip of vertical glass running alongside a door
38. Electrical Components Transformer- a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through inductively coupled conductors—the transformer's coils.
39. Electrical Components Service Head-is a weatherproof entry point for above-ground electrical wiring or telephone lines into a home or business
40. Electrical Components Meter- a device that measures the amount of electrical energy supplied to or produced by the residence
41. Electrical Components Service Panel-is a component of an electricity supply system which divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits, while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit, in a common enclosure
42. Electrical Components Duplex Receptacle-are AC power plugs, that is connectors used for mains electricity (in North America and other countries) that conform to the standards set by the U.S. National Electrical Manufacturers Association
46. Front End Loader It that has a front mounted square wide bucket connected to the end of two booms (arms) to scoop up loose material from the ground, such as dirt, sand or gravel, and move it from one place to another without pushing the material across the ground
47. Gypsum Board Gypsum Board-gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper, then kiln dried
48. Heat Pump Advantage- More even temperatures Disadvantage-Very expensive upfront cost Air Compressor- cools outside air down to desirable inside temperature
53. Mortar Mortar Joint 2 Trowled Joint ½ inch width Insurance Building N- Grade
54. Oriented Strand Board It is an engineered wood product formed by layering strands (flakes) of wood in specific orientations. In appearance, it may have a rough and variegated surface with the individual strips (around 2.5 by 15 cm (approx. 1 in by 6 in) each) lying unevenly across each other. It is a nonveneered panel product. It is manufactured in wide mats from cross-oriented layers of thin, rectangular wooden strips compressed and bonded together with wax and resin adhesives (95% wood, 5% wax and resin)
57. Plumbing Vent Through Roofing- it is letting gas escape from the bathroom through the roof instead of letting them stay trapped inside the building Drop In Sink
58. Plywood A veneer is a thin covering over another surface Plywood is a type of Manufactured Wood made from thin sheets of wood, called plies or wood veneers. The layers are glued together so that adjacent plies have their wood grain at right angles to each other for greater strength. There are usually an odd number of plies, as the symmetry makes the board less prone to warping.
59. Radiant Barrier A radiant barrier inhibits heat transfer by thermal radiation.
60. Rebar ½” diameter #8 rebar The deformation pattern is rolled onto them which helps the concrete get a grip on the bar.
61. Steep Roof Drainage Gutter-A narrow channel which collects rainwater from the roof of a building and diverts it away from the structure, typically into a drain Downspout-a vertical pipe for carrying rainwater from a rain gutter gutter to ground level Splash block-positioned beneath your downspouts, help direct and distribute that rainwater away from the foundation, to help minimize erosion
62. Steep Roof Materials Underlayment is used to act as a secondary defense against leakage, and has recently become an essential part of building practices Clay Tile Roof
63. Steep Roof Materials Wood Shingle Shingle-a roof covering consisting of individual overlapping elements Typically galvanized steel. Like here.
66. Steep Roof Terms Ridge-The uppermost, horizontal external angle formed by the intersection of two sloping roof planes. Valley-The internal angle formed by the intersection of two sloping roof planes to provide water runoff Eave-The horizontal, lower edge of a sloped roof Rake-The inclined edge of a sloped roof over a wall from the eave to the ridge. Soffit- The finished underside of the eaves Fascia-Horizontal trim at the eaves that covers the rafter ends
69. Vapor Retarder Vapor Retarder is hindering water or condensation from passing through the roof to the insulation. Typically put on the back side.
70. Waterproofing Silicone Sealant- used to seal piping and anything else that water isn’t intended to reach. This is liquid applied.
71. Weep Hole Weep Holes are small openings left in the outer wall of masonry construction as an outlet for water inside a building to move outside the wall and evaporate
72. Welded Wire Fabric Me Could not find a slab being poured in or around Auburn in the past few weeks so here’s the best I can do. I’m going to call it a 4’x4’ grid
