COSC 275 WOD 5-6 Exam 2 Graded A+
Anchor Bolt - ANSWER-A threaded bolt, usually embedded in a foundation, for securing
a sill, framework, or machinery.
beam - ANSWER-A horizontal structural member, such as a girder, rafter, or purlin, that
transversely supports a load and transfers the load to vertical members, such as
columns and walls
Bond Breaker - ANSWER-A material used to prevent adhesion between freshly placed
concrete and the substrate.
column - ANSWER-A long, relatively slender, supporting pillar. A column is usually
loaded axially in compression.
Curtain Wall - ANSWER-The exterior closure or skin of a building. A curtain wall is
nonbearing and is not supported by beams or girders.
Dampproofing - ANSWER-An application of a water-resisting treatment or material to
the surface of a concrete or masonry wall to prevent passage or absorption of water or
moisture. Can also be accomplished by using an admixture in the concrete mix.
Does Professor Palmer love rebar - ANSWER-You should know this question :)
Envelope - ANSWER-A term used to denote the extreme outside surface and

hips and valleys, roof penetrations, joints between a roof and a vertical wall, and in
masonry walls to direct the flow of water and moisture.
girder - ANSWER-A large principal beam of steel, reinforced concrete, wood, or a
combination of these, used to support other structural members at isolated points along
its length.
How do we find Linear Foot? - ANSWER-Multiply the number of objects we are looking
for by the length
#*L
How do we find Square Feet - ANSWER-Multiply the number of objects we are looking
for by the length and height
#*L*H
