A heavy horizontal timber or dimensional lumberat the bottom of the frame of a wood structure; the timber/lumber rests directly on a foundation.

Thermal insulation which is fabricated in rigid or semirigid form

A temporary construction to contain wet concrete in the required shape while it is cast and setting

Usually the lowest story of a building, either partly or entirely below grade.

Any interior space of limited height, but sufficient to permit workmen access to otherwise concealed ductwork,the unfinished accessible space below the first floor which is usually less than a full story in height

That part of the foundation for a building which forms the permanent retaining wall of the structure below grade.

Any part of a structure that serves to transmit the load to the earth or rock, usually below ground level; the entire masonry substructure.

A steel bolt usually fixed in a building structure with its threaded portion projecting; used to secure frameworks, timbers, etc.

A hollow tile, usually laid end to end as piping (with open joints) in soil in order to drain water-saturated soil, or used to permit fluid in the hollow-tile pipe to disperse into the ground (as in an absorption field).

That portion of the foundation of a structure which transmits loads directly to the soil to reduce settling.
