Structural Steel Construction Exam with
question and answer 100%correct
Blocked Steel Structure - When the girder has a W shape and we cut the beam to perfectly
assemble it
Coped Steel Structure - When the girder has a S shape and we cut the beam to perfectly
assemble it
ASTM - American Society for Testing and Materials
AISC - American Institute of Steel Construction
Shaking out - Process of unloading steel members in a planned manner to minimize moving
of members during erection
Moment Resisting Connection - They are designed to transfer bending moments, shear
forces and sometimes normal forces
The longer the span - Less fastening and faster construction
Determination of the steel job by iron workers - Using a certain price per ton by the
accumulative weight for all of the steel members
Erection Drawing - Plans made by steel fabricator that provides information for proper
placement of steel members for each structural steel member
, Beam and Column Construction - Structural Steel Construction method consisting of bays of
framed structural steel that are repeated to create large structures
Bay - The space between the center of adjacent columns along exterior walls
Beam - Horizontal structural element which supports loads in bending and transfer the loads
to columns usually at the ends of the beams
Maximun height for tradeworkers work without harness - Tradeworker working over 6 feet
must be tied off
Erection mark - Mark placed on each beams to identify where should be placed
Pin type connection - Cast steel connector that acts as a node to resolve a number of tensile
forces
Bent - Structural framework, transverse to the lenght of a structure, designed to carry lateral
as well as vertical loads
Haunch - A bracket built into a wall or column to support a load falling outside the wall or
column
Steel Detailers - They assign erection marks to the different members and prepare all the
submittals
Necessary information about anchorbolts determined by the structural engineer - The size
and the projection
