| A forming member used to limit the horizontal spread of fresh concrete on flat surfaces.
|
| In concrete or asphalt road paving, the separation of the joint between the pavement and the shoulder, commonly caused by the alternate wetting and drying beneath the shoulder surface; other causes are shoulder settlement, mix shrinkage, and trucks straddling the joint.
|
| The place where two pieces of wood are joined together edge to edge, commonly by gluing; the joint may be made by gluing two squared edges as in a plain edge joint or by using machined joints of various configuration, such as tongued-and-grooved joints.
|
| A type of mounted tile wherein tile is assembled into units or sheets and are bonded to each other at the edges or corners of the back of the tiles by an elastomeric or resinous material which becomes an integral part of the tile installation.
|
| The prepared shape on the edge of metal for welding.
|
| The repair of an edge of a construction member by the use of plaster or concrete.
|
| Felt strips that are cut to widths narrower than the standard width of the full felt roll; used to start the felt-shingling pattern at a roof edge.
|
| Application of felt strips cut to narrower widths than the normal 36 inch width of a felt roll, used to start the felt-shingling pattern at a roof edge.
|
| The practice of providing regular spaced protected openings around a roofs perimeter to relieve the water vapor.

|
| 1. The cutting side of a blade. 2. The degree of sharpness of a tool. 3. The line where an object or area begins or ends. 4. The extreme verge or brink of a cliff. 5. Of gypsum board, the paper bound edge as manufactured.
|
| Lumber that has been sawed so that the wide surfaces extend approximately at right angles to the annual growth rings. Lumber is considered edge grained when the rings form an angle of 45 degrees to 90 degrees with the wide surface of the piece.
|
| 1. See Tongue and Groove. 2. Lumber that has been rabbeted on both edges of each piece; in either case, the purpose is to provide a close joint when fitting two pieces together.

| The area of a section which lies between the centroid of the tension reinforcement and the compression face of the flexural member.
|
| The area obtained by multiplying the cross sectional area of the reinforcement by the cosine of the angle between its direction and the direction for which the effectiveness is to be determined.
|
| Actual flow area of an air inlet or outlet; gross area minus area of vanes or grille bars.
|
| The distance from the extreme compression fiber to the centroid of tension reinforcement.
|
| The minimum cross-section area of the opening where water is discharged from a water supply pipe.
|
| The stress remaining in prestressing tendons after all losses have occurred, excluding effects of dead load and superimposed load.
|
| The value of the lateral force in the isolation system, or an element thereof, divided by the corresponding lateral displacement.
