STRUCTURAL STEEL CONSTRUCTION
EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100%
CORRECT!!
Blocked Steel Structure - ANSWER When the girder has a W shape and we cut the
beam to perfectly assemble it
Coped Steel Structure - ANSWER When the girder has a S shape and we cut the beam
to perfectly assemble it
ASTM - ANSWER American Society for Testing and Materials
AISC - ANSWER American Institute of Steel Construction
Shaking out - ANSWER Process of unloading steel members in a planned manner to
minimize moving of members during erection
Moment Resisting Connection - ANSWER They are designed to transfer bending
moments, shear forces and sometimes normal forces
The longer the span - ANSWER Less fastening and faster construction
Determination of the steel job by iron workers - ANSWER Using a certain price per ton
by the accumulative weight for all of the steel members
Erection Drawing - ANSWER Plans made by steel fabricator that provides information
for proper placement of steel members for each structural steel member
Beam and Column Construction - ANSWER Structural Steel Construction method
consisting of bays of framed structural steel that are repeated to create large structures
Bay - ANSWER The space between the center of adjacent columns along exterior walls
Beam - ANSWER Horizontal structural element which supports loads in bending and
transfer the loads to columns usually at the ends of the beams
, Steel Detailers - ANSWER They assign erection marks to the different members and
prepare all the submittals
Necessary information about anchorbolts determined by the structural engineer -
ANSWER The size and the projection
Machine used to cut the beams perfectly - ANSWER The milling machine
Hot Rolled Members - ANSWER Steel that has been rolled at a high temperature (over
1700) which is above the steel recrystalization temperature
Cold Rolled Members - ANSWER Hot Rolled Member that has had processed further in
cold reduction mills where the material is cooled followed by annealing and/or tempers
rolling
Standart hole size for anchor bolts - ANSWER 1/16 inches bigger than the nominal size
of the fastener body
Shim packs - ANSWER Pre assembled packages of shims that are designed for precise
placing and leveling of large panels
Strut - ANSWER Structural component designed to resist longitudinal compression
Pre-engineered metal building fasteners - ANSWER Self-Drouin Struts, Pop Rivets
Columns and beams fasteners - ANSWER Hard rivets, welding
Anchor bolt - ANSWER fastener used to attach objects or structures to concrete
Long Span Construction - ANSWER Structural steel construction method in which large
horizontal steel members are fastened together to span large areas. It is commonly
used in bridges and arenas
Wall bearing construction - ANSWER Horizontal steel beams and joists are supported
by other construction materials such as masonry and reinforced concrete
Girder - ANSWER A large steel beam which that is the main horizontal support of a
structure
Joist, Purling or Rivet Pocket - ANSWER They are the spaces between other steel
structures where joist, purlings or rivets are located
