Bridge cap — is the highest part of a bridge pier, on which the bridge bearings or
rollers are seated. It may be of stone, brick or plain or reinforced concrete,
usually the last for heavy loads.
Joist - a wood, steel, or pre-cast concrete beam directly supporting a floor.
Usually wooden joist.
Live load - load which may be removed or replaced on a structure, not
necessarily a dynamic load excluding wind and earthquake loads. Live loads are
moving loads or movable loads.
Girder ~ a large beam, originally of wood or iron, now usually of steel or
concrete, though light alloys have occasionally been used. Apart from the
bowstring girder its chords are parallel.
Bending Moment - the total bending effect at any section of a beam is called
the bending moment. It is equal to the algebraic sum of all the moments to the
right of the section (or to the left of the section, which amounts to the same thing)
and is called M for short. Every bending moment can be expressed as a force
times a distance called the arm. The units are pound-inches, ton-inches, ka-m,
N-m, tonne-m, etc.
Aggregates — gravel, sand, slag, crushed rock or inert materials which
form a large part of concretes, asphalts or roads including macadam.
‘Admixture — in concrete or mortar, a substance other than aggregate, cement or
water added in small quantity, normally less than 5% of the weight of the cement,
to alter the properties of the mix or the hardened solid. Some 80% of the
concrete made in North America, Australia, Japan and most of Europe contains
an admixture, and more than half contains air-entraining agent. Other admixtures
are accelerators, bonding admixtures, super plasticizers, water reducers,
retarders, anti-freeze, corrosion inhibitors, pore fillers and thickening agents.
Shrinkage preventers, colouring (pigments), damp-proofing, expanding,
fungicidal, gas-forming, grouting and flocculating agents also exist. For coneretes
with high cement needed to such an extent that the admixture pays for itself
without harm to the physical properties. But this saving probably never occurs
with very lean concretes.
Accelerator - an’ admixture which hastens the hardening rate and/or initial
setting time of concrete. Calcium chloride (CaCl) was widely used, but because
it can corrode embedded steel it is now banned in the UK éxcept in unreinforced
concrete. Chloride-free accelerators that are safe with steel are based on
inorganic. chemicals including formats, nitrates and thiocyanates. Sodium
carbonate (washing soda) can be used.to make @ flash set for quick repairs but it
weakens the concrete.
Retarder — an admixture which slows up the setting rate of concrete, sometimes
applied to formwork so that when itis stripped the cement paste which has been
jn contact with it can be removed by light brushing. The rough texture thus
formed may be needed for its visual appeal or to make @ good bond for plaster.
Some retarders accelerate the initial set. This can be late as possible. An
4“admixture used in the USA in 1988, Delvo, made by Master Builders of
Cleveland, Ohio, allows concrete to be used even after several days. It must be
added before the conerete is three hours old, but can be added to concrete at up
to 32°C. Ready-mix concrete makers us
Diaphragm — in general a stiff plate or partition such as a bulk-head. The
temporary wall built across each end of each unit of an immersed tube to enable
it to be floated into position and sunk next to its neighbor is also a diaphragm.
When the next unit is jacked up to it, the water in the space between the
diaphragms is pumped out and air is admitted. The force of the water then
pushes the two units more closely together and the diaphragms can be broken
‘out without flooding the tube. In a hydro-pneumatic accumulator, the diaphragm
is flexible.
Boring ~ making a hole in rock blasting, using a rotative or percussive drill
Gusset Plate — a piece of steel plate, usually roughly rectangular or triangular,
which connects the members of a truss.
Punching Shear — When a heavily loaded column punches a hole through a
base, the base is said to fail by punching shear. Punching shear is prevented by
thickening the base or enlarging the foot of the column so that the shear stress
(assumed uniform) round the perimeter of the column does not exceed twice the
allowable shear stress in concrete.
‘Selsmograph — an instrument at the ground surface which records the olectrical
effects transmitted to it by a seismometer and thus shows the times and
amplitudes of earth shocks.
Span — the distance between the supports of a bridge, truss, arch, girder,
beam, etc.
1 floor,
Modulus of — for any material the ratio of the stress (force per unit
area) to the strain (deformation per unit length). It is expressed in units of stress,
and is usually constant up to the yield point. The values for some common
materials in GN/m? are about as follows: steel 200; light alloys of aluminum, 69,
of magnesium, 45; green-heart, 23; Douglas fir, 11; English oak, 10; mostly
softwoods about 12; English ash and beech, 13; resin-bonded chipboard, or
ightweight concretes (of density around 960 kgim*) about 3.
Yield Point — the stress at which noticeable, suddenly increased deformation
‘occurs under slowly increasing load. This occurs for mild steel at a stress slightly
above the elastic limit. For light alloys, and for cold-drawn or high-tensile steels,
many of which do not have such a pronounced yield point as mild steel, the 0.1
or 0.2% proof stress is taken as the yield point for estimating safe stresses.
Elastic Limit — the stress beyond which further load causes permanent set. In
most materials the elastic limit is also the limit of proportionality.
Plastic Limit - the water content at the lower limit of the plastic state of a clay. It
is the minimum water content at which a soil can be rolled into a thread of 3 mm
diameter without crumbling
Force — that which tends to accelerate a body or to change its movement; for
example, the weight of a body is a force which tends to move it downwards.Deflection ~ the elastic movement of loaded parts of a structure. The word often
refers to the sinking of the mid-span of a beam which in British housing generally
is not allowed to exceed 1/325 of the span.
Shear — the load: acting across a bean near its support. For a uniformly
distributed load or for any other symmetrical load, the maximum shear is equal to
half the total load on a simply supported beam, or to the total load on a cantilever
beam.
‘Stress — the force on a member divided by the area which carries the force,
formerly expressed in psi, now in N/mm?, MPa, etc.
Strain - a change in length caused usually by a force applied to a piece, the
change being expressed as a ratio, the increase or decrease divided by the
original length.
Shear Wall — a core wall.
Slump Test — a test for the stiffness of wet concrete. A conical mould is filled
‘with concrete, well rammed, and then carefully inverted and emptied over a fiat
plate. The amount by which the concrete cone drops below the top of the mould
is measured and is called the slump. This test is valuable only when the
aggregates are used all the time and in the same proportions. It then gives a
rough idea if the water content of the mix. This otherwise most useful test cannot
be applied to stiff concretes with slump of less than about 20 mm.
Spiral Reinforcement — steel bar wound continuously round the main bars of a
cylindrical concrete column or pile instead of links.
Beam — a structural member designed to resist loads which bend it. The bending
effect at any point in a beam is found by calculating the bending moment. Beams.
are usually of wood, steel, light alloy, or reinforced or pre-stressed concrete.
Column ~ a post carrying compressive force.
Fixed-End Moment — the bending moment at the support of a beam required o
foxit in such a way that it cannot rotate, so that it has a fixed end.
Contraction Joint — in concrete work, a break in a structure made to allow for
the drying and temperature shrinkages (of concrete or masonry) thus to prevent
cracks forming at undesirable places. Since all materials containing cement
shrink appreciably on drying, contraction joints are needed in every long
structure.
‘Tendon ~ a pre-stressing bar, cable, rope, strand or wire.
Grade Beam ~ the US term for ground beam
Pre-tensioning ~ concrete members are pre-cast, in a works, with the tensioned
wires embedded in them. The wires are anchored either against the moulds or
against permanent abutments in the ground. After hardening, the concrete is
released from the mould and the wires are cut at the anchorage. This method
may give a larger loss of pre-stress than with post-tensioning but is usual
economical for small members and may produce better concrete since it is
always factory controlled. In long-line pre-stressing, used for the pre-casting of
pre-tensioned floor slabs or beams, the casting bed may be as much as 180 m
long; enabling units may be 1.2 m, and their thickness 15, 20 or 25 cm. Theyusually have tubular voids running down the length and occupying about 30% of
the cross-section.
Pre-cast Concrete ~ concrete beams, columns, lintels, piles, and parts of walls
and floors which are cast and partly matured on the site or in a factory before
being lifted into their position in a structure. Where many of the same unit are
required, pre-casting may be more economical than casting in place, may give a
better surface finish, reduce shrinkage of the concrete on the site, and make
stronger concrete.
Earthquake — sinking of part of the earth’s surface along a fault plane, i.e. a
crack in the earth's crust
Seismometer ~ either a geophone, used in seismic prospecting, or a device for
detecting earthquake shocks. An early seismometer made in Japan about AD
136 consisted of balls dropping from a dragon's mouth into a frog's to show the
direction of the shock.
Slag — the waste glass-like product from a metallurgical furnace, which flows off
above the metal. The slags most used in building and civil engineering in Britain
are blast-furnace slags (B).
Mortar - a paste of cement, sand and water laid between bricks, blocks or
stones, and usually now made with masonry cement, formerly with cement and
lime putty. Cement paste can be regarded as the mortar of concrete.
Embedment Lenath — ACI term for grip length.
Dead Load ~ the weight of a structure and any pefmanent loads fixed on it.
Creep ~ gradually increasing permanent deformation of a material under stress,
well known in metals as high-temperature creep.
Base — the base course of a road.
Slenderness Ratio — the effective height of a column divided by its radius of
gyration, the value U/k in the formula for the Euler crippling stress.
Resilience ~ the strain energy stored in an elastic material per unit of volume.
The modulus of resilience is the greatest quantity of energy per unit volume
which can be stored in a material without permanent set. Steel can store 0.027
kg-m/cm®, rubber about 0.54 kg-m/cm’,
Dustility — the ability of a metal to undergo cold plastic deformation without
breaking, particularly by pulling in cold drawing.
~ the ratio of the shear stress to the shear strain in a
Modulus of Rupture — the breaking stress of a cast-iron, wooden or mass
concrete rectangular beam, calculated on the assumptions that the tensile strains
in the beam are equal distances from the neutral axis.
Stirrup —a link.
Tie — A link around the main steel in a concrete column, beam or pile.Batter Pile — a pile (usually driven not bored) at an angle to the vertical
Footing — a widening of any structure at the foot to improve its stability, in
breakwaters, earth or other dams, or simple walls.
Web — the vertical plate joining the flanges of any beam or rail, of whatever
material.
Fillet Weld — a weld of roughly triangular cross-section between two pieces at
right angles.
Bench Mark ~ a relatively fixed point whose level is known and used as a datum
for leveling.
Deck — a.flat roof or a quay, jetty or bridge floor, generally a floor with no roof
over.
Strut -a long column, usually of wood or metal, not necessarily vertical.
Poisson's Ratio — for elastic materials strained by a force in one direction, there
| be @ corresponding strain in all directions perpendicular to this, equal to p
es the strain in the direction of the force.ARCHITECTURAL PAST BOARD EXAMINATIONS.

Situation: Hagia Sophia is considered as the epitome of Byzantine architecture and
is said to have "changed the history of architecture.” It was the largest cathedral in
the world for nearly a thousand years, until Seville Cathedral was completed in
1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and
537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian and was the third Church of
the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site, the previous two having both been destroyed
by rioters. It was designed by the Greek scientists Isidore of Miletus, a physicist, *
and Anthemius of Tralles,' mathematician. The church contained a large
collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 49 foot (15 m) silver
iconostasis. It was the seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious
focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly one thousand years. It is the
church in which Cardinal Humbert in 1054 excommunicated Michael | Cerularius -
which is commonly considered the start of the Great Schism. In 1204, Europeansoldiers of the Fourth Crusade sacked and plundered Constantinople and began a
57-year occupation of the city. During that time, the Hagia Sophia was converted
from the seat of Eastern Orthodoxy into a Roman Catholic cathedral; its treasures
were pillaged and carried away to cathedrals and monasteries in Italy, France, and
England. Much of the booty was taken to a Cathedral in Venice, where it can still be
seen today. In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks under
Sultan Mehmed II, who subsequently ordered the building converted into a
mosque. The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed and
many of the mosaics were plastered over. Islamic features — such as the mihrab,
minbar, and four minarets — were added while in the possession of the Ottomans.
It remained a mosque until 1931 when it was closed to the public for four years. it
was re-opened in 1935 as a museum by the Republic of Turkey.

‘French Goth, a style of architecture developed in northem France that spread
throughout Europe between the 12th and 16th centuries; characterized by slender vertical
iers and counterbalancing buttresses and by vaulting and pointed arches
‘Spanish Goth: The distinctive characteristic of Spanish Gothic cathedrals is their spacial
complexity, with many areas of different shapes leading from each other. A few ul iquely
panist led to this otherwise English and French-inspired style were the
inclusions of a cloister, a Spanish favorite, and the positioning of the coro (an elaborate

In 1631, Shah Jahan, emperor during the Mughal empire's period of greatest prosperity,
was grief-stricken when his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, died during the birth of their 14th
child, Gauhara Begum. Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632. The court
chronicles of Shah Jahan's grief illustrate the love
story traditionally held as an inspiration for Taj Mahal
The principal mausoleum was completed in 1648 and 3 |
the surrounding buildings and garden were finished 7 5
five years later. Emperor Shah Jahan himself
described the Taj in these words:
Should quilty seek asylum here, ,
Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin. Aa se
Should a sinner make his way to this mansion, ~
All his past sins are to be washed away.
The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs;
And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.
In this world this edifice has been made;
To display thereby the creator's glory.
The Taj Mahal incorporates and expands on design traditions of Persian architecture and
earlier Mughal architecture. While earlier Mughal buildings were primarily constructed of
red sandstone, Shah Jahan promoted the use of white marble inlaid with semi-precious
stones, and buildings under his patronage reached new levels of refinement.
