Title
Glossary of building and civil engineering terms. Introduction
Abstract
This part of BS 6100 gives general information relevant to all parts, sections and subsections of this glossary, background information, guidance on using the glossary, a list of the sections and subsections of the glossary and a general alphabetical index of those that have been published at the date of the publication of this part.
This glossary covers all topics that are the responsibility of the Sector Committee for Building and Civil Engineering. Some terms are included which do not have special meaning in the construction industry but are considered necessary to help readers understand the more specialized terms. Typically these include general physical properties, terms relating to testing and standardization.
Scottish terms and important regional terms are included, either in their own right or as accepted alternatives to preferred terms. Local terms, where included, are given as deprecated equivalents of preferred terms.
