The bottom horizontal member of a framed wall upon which a row of studs is erected. Also called shoe, sole, sole piece.

Any framing member that is shorter than usual, as a stud above a door opening or below a window sill.

A curtain wall system in which one-or – two- story- high mullions are installed before preassembled wall units are lowered in to place behind the mullions. The framed wall units may be pre-glazed or glazed after installation.

A curtain wall system consisting of preformed metal, cut stone, precast concrete, or panelized brick will units, which may be pre-glazed or glazed after installation.

A curtain wall system consisting of preassembled, framed wall units which may be pre-glazed or glazed after installation.

A galvanized wire basket filled with stones and used in constructing an abutment or retaining structure.

A masonry or concrete retaining wall that resist overturning and sliding by the sheer weight and volume of its mass.

A type of gravity retaining wall formed by stacking modular, interlocking precast concrete units and filling the voids with crushed stone or gravel. Also called cellular wall.

A board or molding placed along the sloping sides of a gable to cover the ends of the siding.

A roof having two slopes, each descending inward from the eaves.

A roof having on each side a steeper lower part and a shallower upper part.

The roof sloping downward in two parts from a central ridge.

A roof having sloping ends and sides meeting at an inclined projecting angle.

A horizontal line of intersection at the top between two sloping planes of a roof.

An intersection of two inclined roof surfaces toward which rainwater flows.

The inclined projecting angle forms by the junction of two adjacent sloping sides of a roof.

A raised construction straddling the ridge of a roof, having windows or louvers for lighting or ventilating a building.

A Portland cement having a reduced content of tricalcium aluminate, making it more resistant to sulfates and causing it to generate less heat of hydration: used in general construction such as large piers and heavy retaining walls.

A Portland cement having a reduced content of tricalcium silicate, causing it to cure faster and gain strength earlier than normal Portland cement: used when the early removal of formwork is desired, or in cold-weather construction to reduce time required for protection from low temperatures.

A Portland cement having a reduced content of tricalcium aluminate, lessening the need for gypsum, a sulfate normally added to cement to retard its setting time: used where resistance to severe sulfate action is required.

A Portland cement having a reduced content of tricalcium silicate and an increased content of dicalcium silicate, causing it: to generate less heat of hydration than normal Portland cement: used in construction of massive concrete structures, such as gravity dams, where a large build up in heat can be damaging. .

A Portland cement used for general construction, having none of the distinguishing qualities of the other types.
