property
a. annealing b. alloy c. built-up

Annealing involves An alloy is a substance made by built-up - denoting a beam,

heating steel to a specified melting two or more elements girder, or stanchion
temperature and then together, at least one of them constructed of sections
cooling at a very slow and metal. welded, riveted, or bolted
controlled rate together

Stanchion - an upright bar,

post, or frame forming a
support or barrier.

a joint gap edge to accept
different types of
expansion joint profiles. Also
referred to by regional
terminology such as knockout,
cutout, and others
A cold joint is a plane of
weakness in concrete
caused by an interruption
or delay in the concreting
operations. It occurs when
the first batch of concrete
has begun to set before the
next batch is added, so that
the two batches do not
intermix.
Control joints are typically used in
concrete masonry to reduce the
occurrence of shrinkage-related cracking.
A control joint is a continuous
vertical joint filled with mortar, but with a
bond breaker on one side so that tensile
stress cannot develop across the joint.

 Girt - a horizontal structural member in a framed wall.

Girder - a large beam, as of steel, reinforced concrete, or timber, for supporting masonry, joists, purlins,
etc.

The main difference between a girder and

a beam is the size of the
component. In general, workers in
the construction industry refer to
large beams as girders. ... If it is the chief
horizontal support in a structure, it is a girder,
not a beam. If it is one of the smaller
structural supports, it is a beam.
ductility literally means that a metal substance is capable of being stretched into a
thin wire without becoming weaker or more brittle in the process.

fresh concrete. It is used, indirectly, as a means of checking
that the correct amount of water has been added to the mix.
