- 1Anchor BoltUsed to attach structural elements to concrete
- 2Deformed SteelSteel bars that have surface projections and indentations within them which enables them to have a greater bond strength
- 3Wire MeshHelps to prevent cracking of concrete, used for more residential purposes; weaker than rebar
- 4Overloaded SlabA concrete slab that has undergone to much pressure, had a bad reinforcement or insufficient amount of bonding agent.
- 5RebarHelps to prevent cracking of concrete, used for more commercial purposes
- 6Fiber Reinforced ConcreteA type of concrete mix containing fibrous materials either synthetic or natural fibers, or glass fibers.
- 7Control JointUsed to relieve stress induced by small amounts of movement caused by shrinkage during curing or small expansion and contraction movements
- 8Expansion JointJoint used to separate building elements and accommodate expected movements in the building materials it separates
- 9BondingA process that includes using bonding agents to allow the new and old concrete to adhere to each other.
- 10DowelingA small, round, smooth steel rod used to connect any concrete slab, column, or pavement mechanically without limiting the flexibility of the horizontal joint.
- 11MonolithicA process of creating a concrete foundation in one pour
- 12PSIPounds per square inch; Measures the compressive strength of concrete. A higher psi means a given concrete mixture is stronger.
- 13PSI ValuesVarying from 2500 psi to 4000 psi;
Higher in residential and commercial structures;
Applications use strengths over 10,000 psi. - 14TendonsSteel cable or wires primarily used in prestressed concrete.
- 15Load TransferDescribes the transfer (or distribution) load across discontinuities such as joints or cracks
- 16Batter BoardsTemporary frames, set beyond the corners of a planned foundation at precise elevations.
- 17NailerConstruction tool used to drive nails into concrete, (I.G., Nail guns).
- 18Rough InThe stage of a construction project when the various mechanical, electrical, and plumbing lines are brought in
- 19CementA type of bonding agent
