Concepts of architecture

44 56 Concepts of architecture terms

In this work I will include some concepts related to architecture

Metal decking is corrugated metal sheeting that’s used as a structural roof deck or composite floor deck. It will be supported by steel beams or joists.
Example: They can be seen in some houses, on some concert stages.
es: cubierta de metal
null
Metal framing
Means any structure in which the majority of its parts are metallic materials. Metal structures are commonly used in the industrial sector.
Example: for the construction of different types of bridges or metal wall
es: Estructura metálica

Metal panel
They are sheets placed vertically that protect or define a space. They have the function of protecting the interior of the warehouse and distribute the wind load to the Facade stringers.
Example: Any type of metal
es: Panel de metal
null
Metal roofing
they are a fairly common roofing material.
Example: Houses in USA
es: Techo de metal
null
Metal tubing
Steel tubes are very common in all kinds of construction uses, from large skyscraper structures to decorative structural elements or scaffolding and machinery.
Example: used in industry and the domestic environment
es: tubos metálicos
null
Plot
Set of threads that, crossed with those of the warp, form a fabric.
Example: A number of individuals in PLOT 3 of the cemetery had 'bony changes consistent
es: Trama
null
Porous concrete
Pervious concrete is a special type of concrete with a high porosity used for concrete finning applications that allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass through directly, thereby reducing runoff from a site and allowing groundwater recharge.
Example: Pervious concrete is traditionally used in parking areas
es: Concreto poroso
null
Precast concrete
It is a construction material that is obtained by mixing, pouring and curing concrete in reusable molds of a certain geometry.
Example: Floor and roof planks, tees and double-tees
es: Concreto prefabricado
null
Prestressed concrete
Prestressed concrete refers to the construction technology of concrete structural elements intentionally subjected to compressive stresses prior to their commissioning.
Example: Prestressed concrete refers to the construction technology of concrete structural elements intentionally subjected to compressive stresses prior to their commissioning.
es: Concreto pretensado
null
Reinforced concrete
reinforced concrete, concrete in which steel is embedded in such a manner that the two materials act together in resisting forces.
Example: These materials are combined in order to form structural elements

Example: To manufacture shelves, racks.
null
Steel beam
They are structural elements that support construction loads and transmit them to the vertical support elements.

Steel framing
It is based on a framework or skeleton of any structure whose components are mostly steel columns and beams, these elements help us to support the floor, ceiling and walls of a building.

Steel joist
Steel joist means an open web, secondary load-carrying member of 144 feet or less, designed by the manufacturer.
Example: Also called open web joists.
es: Vigueta de acero
null
Steel member
It is a term, but they are capable of presenting large deformations and still resisting large forces. This implies that steel members can be subjected to large deformations during assembly, being possible to bend, hammer, cut and drill them without apparent damage.
Example: Columns, girts, joists

Steel plate
It is widely used to stabilize structures and protect mass units such as bridges. Alternatively, it offers a base for building larger materials and non-workable parts.
Example: for tube manufacturing
es: Placas de acero
null
Steel reinforcement
They are necessary in concrete constructions, "drowned" inside the structure, giving it its resistant properties and guaranteeing the safety of the work.
Example: They are found in the construction of columns to reinforce the structure

Steel sections
Steel section describes the profile or shape of a structural steel member
Example: Engineers use the section properties for their calculations.
