Test I Definition of Terms(2 pointseach 10 ITEMS)

Instruction: Define the following terms

1.Cast in Place – also known as poured-in-place, is a concreting technique which is

undertaken in situ or in the concrete component's finished position. Cast-in-place
concrete is the preferred choice for concrete slabs and foundations, as well as
components such as beams, columns, walls, roofs, and so on.

2. Pre-cast – is a form of concrete that is prepared, cast and cured off-site, usually in a
controlled factory environment, using reusable moulds. Precast concrete elements can
be joined to other elements to form a complete structure.

3. Pre-stressing – is the process by which a concrete element is compressed, generally

by steel wires or strands. Precast elements may be prestressed during the construction
process (pre-tensioning) or structures may be stressed once completed (post-
tensioning). Prestressing compensates for the tensile stresses introduced when the
element is loaded. Hence the concrete generally remains in compression.

4. Post-tensioning – is a technique for reinforcing concrete. Post-tensioning tendons,

which are prestressing steel cables inside plastic ducts or sleeves, are positioned in the
forms before the concrete is placed.

5. Composite Construction-is a generic term to describe any building construction

involving multiple dissimilar materials. Composite construction is often used in building
aircraft, watercraft, and building construction.

Test III. Fill in the blanks (10 ITEMS)

1.-2. Cast in place wall system serve as a ___partition_____ wall and carry ___load________
of the of the
house/ home project.
3.-4. Precast construction Technology is a system of _____casting___ concrete in a reusable
_____mould__
or“ form” which is then treated in a controlled environment, conveyed to the construction
site and lifted to the place.
5.-6. Floor systems must transfer their loads horizontally across space to either
__beams____
and ___columns___ or to loadbearing walls.
7. Building codes specify minimum design live loads for floor and __roof______ systems.
8. In composite construction, the structural concrete slab is made to assist the steel
____beams___
in supporting loads.
9.-10.Lift slabs are precast-concrete ____floor___ and __roof____ panels that are cast on a
base slab
at ground level, one on top of the other, with a bond-breaking membrane between them.

Test IV. True or False(2 points each20 ITEMS)

Direction: Read the following statements. Write T if the statement is true, and write F if the
statement is false. Place your answers on the space before the number.

1. __T_ Cast in place wall system serve as a partition wall and carry load/weight of the of
the
house/home project.
2. __F_ Cast in place walls uses low grade strength of reinforcing steel bars to maximize the
use of the walls to carry the load/weight.
3. __F_ Cast in place wall system does not lessen or eliminate the use of cast in place
columns and beams.
4. ---T-- Concrete components of a building prefabricated in precast yard or site and shall
be installed in the building during construction.
5. --T--- A floor system may be composed of a series of linear beams and joists overlaid with

a plane of sheathing or decking, or consist of a nearly homogeneous slab of

reinforced concrete.

6. ---T-- Durability becomes a major consideration when a floor is subject to loads other than
static or moderately kinetic types of forces.
7. ----T- The depth of the floor construction and the cavities within it should be considered if
it
is necessary to accommodate runs of mechanical or electrical lines within the floor
system.
8. ---T-- Cast-in-place concrete floor slabs are classified according to their span and cast
form.
9. ---F-- Selection of a suitable and economical floor system for a steel-frame building does
not involve many considerations.
10.--T--Joist systems, either steel or concrete, require no immediate support, since they are
obtainable in lengths to meet normal bay dimensions in tier building construction.

Test V. Essay (5 points each30 ITEMS)

1. What is the difference between cast in place from pre cast?

2. Differentiate Steel Floors Joist from Cellular-Steel Floors.

3. As a future civil engineer, state the importance of wall systems knowledge.

4. Differentiate pre-tensioning from post tensioning.

5. Explain the pre-stressing system.

6. Discuss the grouting of bonded steel.
