25 Questions

1. A wide shallow footing usually constructed of reinforced concrete

2. Survey that establishes a network of horizontal and vertical monuments that serve as a reference framework for other surveys

3. Deformation under stress

4. The vertical distance from the datum to the line of sight of the instrument

5. The elevation of the bottom of the inside of the pipe wall

6. Surveys for which the curvature of the Earth is ignored and measurements are treated as if taken on a plane surface

7. A beam supporting the weight above a door or window opening

8. A support condition in which translation of a structural member is restricted in two perpendicular directions and rotation is restricted. A fixed support provides two perpendicular reaction forces and a reaction moment when the member is loaded

9. A water supply pipe that extends vertically one story or more to carry water to fixtures

10. That portion of the means-of-egress system between the exit access and the exit discharge or the public way

11. The width of floor or roof along the length of a beam - measured perpendicular to the beam - representing the portion of surface from which an applied uniform load is assumed to transfer to that beam

12. A fitting or device that provides a liquid seal to prevent the emission of sewer gases without materially affecting the flow of sewage or wastewater through the trap

13. The difference between the liquid limit and the plastic limit

14. Pipes - typically made of sheet metal - used to conduct hot or cold air in the HVAC system

15. A single concrete footing that is essentially equal in area to the area of ground covered by the supported structure

16. Entrances or a means to enter

17. The state of a body such that the sum of all the external forces acting on the body equals zero and the sum of all external moments acting on the body equals zero

18. The relative lightness or darkness of a color

19. An arrangement of several arches whose bases form a circle and whose tops meet in the center

20. A roof membrane laminated from layers of asphalt-saturated felt or other fabric - bonded together with bitumen or pitch

21. A diagram used to isolate a body from its environment - showing all external constraints and forces acting upon it and all geometric measurements necessary to model the body

22. An electrical connection to the earth

23. A long cylindrical reinforced concrete foundation element formed by drilling into firm soil and pouring concrete into the hole

24. The recognized accreditor for college and university programs in applied science - computing - engineering - and technology

25. A single beam that is supported by more than two supports such that it has at least two distinct spans
