SOLUTIONS
The maximum compressive stress a material can withstand without failure. -
correct-answer -Compression Strength
A solid, hard material produced by combining Portland cement, aggregates, sand,
water and sometimes additional mixtures. - correct-answer -Concrete
The difference between the indoor temperature in winter and the outdoor design
temperature in winter. The design temperature differential or design range is
used in calculating the space heating requirements of a dwelling unit under the
engineering-based methodology. - correct-answer -Design Temperature
Differential
The finish board covering the edges of rafters and eaves. - correct-answer -Fascia
The lowest, widest part of the foundation that distributes the load over a broad
area of the soil. - correct-answer -Footing
, 2
The lower part of a building, which transfers structural loads from the building to
the soil. - correct-answer -Foundation
The energy needed to warm outside air leaking into a building through cracks
around doors, windows, and other areas. - correct-answer -Heat Loss
Energy radiated or transmitted as rays or waves, in the form of particles. -
correct-answer -Radiant Heat
Member of a roof structural frame that supports the sheathing and other roof
loads. - correct-answer -Rafter
Steel bar used to reinforce concrete. - correct-answer -Rebar
The numerical value used to indicate the resistance to the flow of heat. - correct-
answer -R-Value
The plate placed at the bottom of a wall. - correct-answer -Sole Plate
In roofing, 100 square feet of roofing material. - correct-answer -Square (Quantity
of Shingles)
, 3
The maximum stress a material subjected to a stretching load can withstand
without tearing. - correct-answer -Tensile Strength
The process of heat transfer through a solid by transmitting kinetic energy from
one molecule to the next. - correct-answer -Thermal Conduction
Heat transmission by the circulation of a liquid or a heated gas or air. - correct-
answer -Thermal Convection
Heat loss/gain resulting from the conduction of heat through the building
envelope. - correct-answer -Transmission Load
A measure of the heat transmission through a building part (as a wall or window)
or a given thickness of a material (as insulation) with lower numbers indicating
better insulating properties. - correct-answer -U-Factor
the quality of an objects that deals with art, beauty, and taste - correct-answer -
