Across
  1. 3. pieces of wood that are glued together.
  2. 4. An adhesive produced by mixing sand, lime, water, and cement.
  3. 5. thick pieces of glass that are similar to bricks or tiles.
  4. 12. A wall separating buildings or subdividing a building to prevent the spread of fire and having a fire-resistance rating and structural stability.
  5. 13. Various construction materials joined together to form a component of a structure.
  6. 16. The force that pushes a material together.
  7. 18. Loads that are off center.
  8. 21. A fundamental physical presence.
  9. 22. Buildings constructed since about 1970 that incorporate lightweight construction techniques and engineered wood components. These buildings exhibit less resistance to fire than older buildings.
  10. 23. The force that pulls a material apart.
  11. 25. A naturally occurring material consisting of calcium sulfate and water molecules.
  12. 29. The overall quantity and combustibility of the contents and structural components in a space, compartment, or structure.
  13. 30. Loads that bear directly through the center of the structure.
  14. 32. safety glass, the lamination process places a thin layer of plastic between two layers of glass so that the glass does not shatter and fall apart when broken.
  15. 33. The property describing whether a material will burn and how quickly it will burn.
  16. 35. A truss that is curved on the top and straight on the bottom.
  17. 36. A load imposed quickly on a structure.
  18. 37. A type of safety glass that is heat treated so that under stress or fire, it will break into small pieces that are not dangerous.
  19. 41. A load focused in one specific area of the building.
  20. 43. Manufactured building material made of smaller pieces of wood held together with glue or adhesive.
  21. 44. Consists of the weight of all materials of construction incorporated into the building.
  22. 46. The measure of the ability of a material, product, or assembly to withstand fire or give protection from it.
  23. 47. A force that occurs when materials slide past each other.
Down
  1. 1. A mixture of cement, aggregates such as sand and gravel, and water.
  2. 2. lumber cut to nominal sizes, then dried and cut down to new standard sizes that are smaller than the nominal size.
  3. 6. A wall that supports any vertical load in addition to its own weight or any lateral load.
  4. 7. Chipping or pitting of concrete or masonry surfaces.
  5. 8. The forces to which a structure is subjected due to superimposed weight or pressures.
  6. 9. A property that describes how quickly a material will conduct heat.
  7. 10. A wall, other than a fire wall, having a fire resistance rating.
  8. 11. The generic name for a family of sheet products consisting of noncombustible core primarily of gypsum with paper surface.
  9. 14. An older type of wood-frame construction in which the wall studs extend vertically from the basement of a structure to the roof of a structure without any fire stops.
  10. 15. built-up unit of construction or combination of materials such as clay, shale, concrete, glass, gypsum, tile or stone set in mortar.
  11. 17. lumber that is true to its stated dimensions.
  12. 19. The purpose for which a building or other structure or part thereof is used or intended to be used.
  13. 20. An older type of construction that used dimensional lumber and was built before about 1970.
  14. 24. Walls that only support their own weight and do not support any of the dead or live load of the building.
  15. 26. Construction technique for building the frame of the structure one floor at a time. Each floor has a top and bottom plate that acts as a fire stop.
  16. 27. large-scale engineered wood products designed to replace structural materials such as concrete and steel in smaller structures such as single family dwellings.
  17. 28. An alloy or a combination of two or more metals of iron and carbon.
  18. 31. Concrete embedded with steel for additional strength.
  19. 34. A collection of lightweight structural components joined in a triangular configuration that can be used to support either floors or roofs.
  20. 38. a glazing material with embedded wire mesh.
  21. 39. Steel cables under tension.
  22. 40. Solid reinforcing bars.
  23. 42. Loads that create twisting.
  24. 45. Load produced by the use and occupancy of the building or other structures which does not include construction or environmental loads.
