Construction Technology 266 Terms. Printreading for Residential and Light Commercial Construction presents information applicable to the carpentry, electrical, mechanical, and general building trades, and provides authentic printreading experiences using contemporary prints. Maximum allowable unit stresses for most wood species (other than plywood) are the same.In frame construction with brick veneer, galvanized metal ties are fastened to the wall studs and sheathing and extend across the air space where they are embedded in the mortar joints of the brick-veneer wall.Buildings in colder climates require insulation with higher R values.Open web steel joists are used extensively in light commercial construction to support floors and roofs.U channels are the most common metal framing member and are used for load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls and partitions as studs and joists.An exterior insulation and finish system is an exterior finish system consisting of reinforcing mesh, a base coat of acrylic copolymers and portland cement, and a finish of acrylic resins.NM cable is an economical wiring method used in residential and light commercial construction less than four stories high.Compression parallel to the grain of wood is always significantly greater than compression across the grain.OSB panels are composed of an odd number of layers running in the direction opposite to that of plywood plies.FRP plywood may be used for heavy-duty applications such as concrete forms.PSL is commonly used for load-bearing applications such as headers and beams.Squared stone is stone cut to precise dimensions according to the prints. This text serves as both an instructional tool and a valuable reference for professionals in the field. True or FalseThe first step in the Code process is the receipt of _____.Each print of a set of working drawings represents a part of a building drawn as a(n) _________ projections.The cutting plane for a floor plan is generally taken _______ above the floor being shown.No point of unbroken wall space __________ or more in length measured horizontally shall be more than ________' from a receptacle in a living room of a dwelling unit.Division _________ of the CSI format pertains to electrical work.A(n) ________ is a graphic representation of an object.A detail is part of a(n) _________ view drawn at a larger scale.The location of all exterior walls and interior partitions is shown and dimension-ed on the _____ plans.The first ______ chapters of the NEC apply generally.Other than the chairperson, membership on a Code panel is either as an alternate or principal member.The location of water, sewer, gas, and electrical utilities is given on the plot plan. The conductors of NM cable shall be rated at 90° C but the allowable ampacity of the conductors shall not exceed that of a _______ ° C rated conductor.Where not permanently accessible, nonmetallic-sheathed cable within 5' of a scuttle hole does not require protection. Test. ____ TW Cu.It is recommended that metal raceways of an electrical system should be bonded or properly spaced from lighting protection conductors.The neutral feeder conductor shall be capable of carrying the maximum ______ load.The minimum area of exposed surface offered by a plate electrode shall be _______ sq ft..Wiring run above heated ceilings and within thermal insulation shall be derated on the basis of _____°C ambient temperature.Receptacles connected to a 30A branch circuit supplying two or more outlets shall be rated not less than _____A.Non-current carrying metal parts of cord and plug connected equipment may be ground by a(n) ______ run with the power supply conductors.Iron wire shall not be used as an equipment bonding jumper. _____ or larger enter a cabinet, box enclosures, or raceway, the conductors shall be protected by a substantial fitting providing a smooth rounded insulating surface, unless the conductors are separated from the fitting or raceway by substantial insulating material securely fastened in place.In general, where installed in raceways, conductors of size No. in. Switches, receptacles, and luminaries (lighting fixtures) are typically shown on floor plan using various symbols and abbreviations.End views of framing members are shown with freehand lines to represent wood grain.Plywood with a surface veneer such as oak is used for cabinets.Medium density overlay (MDO) plywood is used for concrete forming.Many light commercial buildings utilize precast concrete components.Steel, glass, or plastic fibers are added to concrete as reinforcement during initial mixing.Brick are manufactured by firing them in a kiln for 24 hours.Brick positions may be indicated in the specifications or by showing an example of the desired positions on elevations or details.Insulation is a material used as a barrier to inhibit thermal and sound transmission.When large-scale sections are shown, wavy lines are used to indicate ceramic tile.The __ size is the dimensions of a piece of lumber before it is dried and surfaced.The __ is the value used to indicate the ability of a material to resist heat flow.__ pipe is the most common type of plastic plumbing pipe used in residential and light commercial buildings.A(n) __ is a thin, moisture-resistant material placed over the ground or in walls to retard the passage of moisture into a building.__ consist of three, four, or five individual layers of asphalt-salurated roofing felt bonded together with hot tar or asphalt.A(n) __ is a wall-mounted distribution cabinet containing overcurrent and short-circuit protection devices.A(n) __ is a device with a current voltage rating, used to open or close an electrical circuit.A(n) __ contains an evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve.__ is water that is free from impurities that could cause disease or harmful physiological effects.__ is heavy-gauge wire joined in a grid and used to reinforce and increase the tensile strength of concrete.__ is a single or multiconductor assembly, with or without an overall jacket.A(n) __ is a self-contained heating unit that includes a blower, burner, and heat exchange or electric heating elements, and controls.
