24 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Masonry bond
- The specified arrangement and overlap of units in an assembly, affecting coordination and appearance without independently establishing complete structural capacity.
- Repointing compatibility
- Suitability of replacement joint material for the existing masonry’s properties, exposure and moisture behavior rather than selection by highest strength alone.
- Refractory assembly
- A specified lining or structure intended for its actual thermal and chemical exposure, with material, joint and anchorage requirements distinct from ordinary masonry.
- Joint module
- The coordination of actual unit dimensions with specified joint widths used for layout, not a universal brick size or automatic cutting allowance.
- Plumb versus level
- Plumb describes vertical alignment and level a horizontal reference, which are separate checks rather than interchangeable descriptions of a straight-looking wall.
- Lintel bearing
- The specified support relationship transferring load around an opening, which needs actual design information rather than a guessed universal seating length.
- Thermal resistance
- A defined opposition to heat flow in the supplied model, calculated from thickness and conductivity for an appropriate homogeneous layer.
- Thermal bridge
- A localized pathway of different heat transfer at a junction or material interruption, requiring actual geometry and assembly assessment.
- Load path
- The route by which actions are transmitted through members, connections and supports to the ground under the actual design conditions.
- Moisture-control layer
- A specified part of a building assembly managing a relevant moisture route, whose continuity and connections matter beyond the visible finish.
- Airtightness
- Resistance to unintended air leakage through the relevant enclosure, distinct from deliberately provided suitable ventilation for the building’s actual needs.
- Material compatibility
- The suitability of interacting materials under the intended load, moisture, movement and exposure conditions, not simply similarity of appearance.
- Controlled revision
- The approved version of technical information for the actual task, preventing different workers from following incompatible dimensions, details or instructions.
- Datum
- A stated reference used to relate dimensions and locations consistently, rather than an arbitrary convenient edge selected independently for each part.
- Written dimension
- The specified physical size or relationship stated on a drawing, distinct from measuring a potentially rescaled printed image with a ruler.
- System boundary
- The chosen extent of a model or task that determines which inputs, outputs, forces and responsibilities are included in the reasoning.
- Measurement uncertainty
- A characterization of the possible dispersion associated with a measurement result, distinct from the instrument’s smallest display increment.
- Acceptance criterion
- A defined requirement used to judge appropriate evidence, which must not be replaced by an attractive appearance or an undocumented expectation.
- Hold point
- A defined stage requiring appropriate verification or approval before work proceeds and makes the relevant feature difficult or impossible to inspect.
- Change control
- An accountable process for assessing and approving a departure from specified information, rather than silently substituting a convenient product or method.
- Temporary stability
- The needed resistance to instability during an intermediate construction stage, which cannot be assumed from the completed structure’s final load path.
- Task-specific control
- A protective measure selected for the actual hazard, equipment, conditions and competence, rather than a universal glove, distance or generic PPE instruction.
- Net quantity
- The amount calculated for the defined work before separately specified allowances, which must use consistent dimensions and measurement conventions.
- Handover evidence
- Relevant records, observations, accepted conditions and unresolved issues communicated to the responsible recipient at completion, beyond a neat visible surface.
