ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ
Данное учебно-методическое пособие было создано коллективом преподавателей предметно-цикловой комиссии общих гуманитарных и социально-экономических дисциплин ОГБОУ СПО «Рязанский строительный колледж» (Бобро Т.А., Кузнецова О.В., Липунцова М.В., Соболева Т.И. – под общей редакцией к.п.н. Бобро Т.А.). Оно предназначено для студентов строительных специальностей средних профессиональных образовательных учреждений и составлено в соответствии с требованиями Федеральных государственных образовательных стандартов среднего профессионального образования.

Основной целью пособия является подготовка студентов к чтению, пониманию аутентичных текстов по специальности. В основе пособия лежат как методически обработанные тексты из англоязычных источников, так и тексты, являющиеся творческой работой авторов.

Учебно-методическое пособие носит инновационный характер – в нем впервые предусмотрено систематическое изучение процесса строительства. Это позволяет использовать предложенные материалы в рамках различных технологий обучения – от включения отдельных текстов в традиционно выделяемые темы до самостоятельного использования в рамках модульного обучения на продвинутом этапе обучения.

Все материалы в пособии представлены в форме девяти разделов (units), каждый из которых тематически представляет собой описание процесса строительства от подготовки почвы до отделочных работ. Тематика текстов охватывает историю развития строительного дела, современные строительные технологии, а также проблемы менеджмента и маркетинга в строительстве.

Каждый раздел имеет определенную структуру: лексическая часть включает основной текст, словарь для активного усвоения лексики текста, упражнения различного типа. При составлении текстов и упражнений уделено большое внимание повторяемости лексических и грамматических явлений и использован принцип постепенного нарастания трудностей, что позволяет лучше усваивать материал. Пособие также включает задания, ориентированные на развитие навыков монологической речи и письменного выражения мысли. Задания сформулированы так, что обучающиеся могут работать по нему самостоятельно, включая дистанционную (заочную) форму обучения.

Авторы предлагаемого учебно-методического пособия надеются, что их попытка представить современный учебно-методический материал окажется своевременной и полезной и будет способствовать достижению нового качества подготовки специалистов среднего звена на уровне современных квалификационных требований.

2. Прочтите и переведите текст

A man, who has been an apprentice for some years in a building trade and has therefore enough skill to be considered a skilled work­er at his trade1, is called tradesman or craftsman. He may be a carpenter-and-joiner, bricklayer, mason, slater-and-tiler2, plumber, electrician, house painter, plasterer, paper-hanger, hot water fitter3 and so on.

Bricklayer is a tradesman who builds and repairs brickwork, lays and joints salt glazed stoneware drains, sets, chimney pots, manhole frames and fireplaces. He renders brickwork, including the insides of manholes. In some districts of Great Britain, bricklayers also fix wall and flooring tiles and slating and lay plaster and granolithic floors.

Carpenter is a man who erects wood frames, fits joints, fixes wood floors, stairs and window frames, asbestos sheeting and other wall-board. He builds or dismantles wood or metal formwork. The two trades of carpenter and joiner were originally the same, and most men can do both, but specialize in one or the other. In the USA the term "carpenter" includes a joiner.

Joiner is a man who makes joinery and works mainly at the bench on wood, which has been cut and shaped by the machinists. His work is finer than the carpenter's, much of it being highly finished and done in a joinery shop which is not exposed to weather 4. In Scotland a joiner is a carpenter-and-joiner.

Mason is a stone worker or stone setter. In Scotland and the USA a bricklayer is usually also a mason. A fixer or a fixer mason or a builder mason is a mason who sets prepared stones in walls, whether the stone be only facing or to the full wall thickness.

Plasterer is a tradesman who may be a fibrous plasterer or a plasterer in solid work. The latter lays successive coats of plaster or rendering and fixes fibrous plaster such as mould cornices and wall pattern. He can use a horsed mould, erect lathing for plaster, and apply stucco5.

A construction manager, or CM, provides services similar to those of general constructor, but represents client's interest during all phases of the building process — design as well as construction. For example, working with the architect during design, the CM provides updated cost projections so that a client will know probable costs, which the project evolves.

The CM decides who bids the job, picks up the request for invita­tion to bid, evaluates the bids, and awards work to the most reason­able bidder. He also prepares contracts and sends them out to the subcontractors.

The CM may be responsible for the safety of workers on the construction site, too.
1. ...to be considered a skilled worker at his trade — может считаться искусным в своем ремесле

2. ...slater-and-tiler — кровельщик (мастер по укладке черепицы)

3. ...hot water fitter—теплотехник

4... .which is not exposed to weather—который не подвержен погоде

5. Не can use horsed mould, erect lathing for plaster, and apply stucco — Он может использовать опалубку для бетона, крепить сетку под штукатурку и применять отделочный гипс.

2. Прочтите и переведите текст                                                    

The majority of building codes divide building into classes based upon the manner of their construction, use, or occupancy.

The following division into classes applies to the manner of construction:

1.Frame construction

2. Non-fireproof construction

a) Ordinary construction

b) Slow-burning construction

3. Fireproof construction

Frame construction embraces all buildings with exterior walls of wooden framework sheathed with wood shingles or siding; veneered with brick, stone, or terra cotta; or covered with stucco or sheet metal. Such buildings naturally have floors and partitions of wood and are considered as comprising the most inflammable type of construction.

Non-fireproof construction includes all buildings with exterior walls of masonry but with wood floor construction and partitions.  Slow-burning construction designates heavy timber framing designed as far as possible to be fire resistant, the heavy beams and girders of large dimension proving far less inflammable than the slender joists of ordinary construction.

Fireproof construction includes all buildings constructed of incombustible material throughout, with floors of iron, steel, or reinforced concrete beams, filled -in between with terra cotta or other masonry arches or with concrete slabs. Wood may be used only for under and upper floors, window and door frames, sash, doors, and interior finish. In buildings of great height the flooring must be of incombustible material and the, doors, frames, and interior finish of metal. Wire glass is used in the windows, and all structural and reinforced steel must be surrounded with fireproof material, such as hollow terra cotta and gypsum tile to protect the steel from the weakening effect of great heat.

2. Прочтите и переведите текст

Soil investigation is related to the subsoil beneath the site under investigation and could be part of or separate from the site investigation.

The purpose of soil investigation is to determine the suitability of the site for the proposed project, an adequate and economic foundation design, the difficulties which may arise during the construction process, the occurrence and/or cause of all changes in subsoil conditions. This purpose can usually be assessed by establishing the physical, chemical and general characteristics of the subsoil by obtaining subsoil samples which should be taken from positions on the site which are truly representative of the area but are not taken from the actual position of the proposed foundations.

Soil samples can be obtained as disturbed or as undisturbed samples.

Disturbed soil samples are obtained from boreholes and trial pits. The method of extraction disturbs the natural structure of the subsoil but such samples are suitable for visual grading, establishing the moisture content and some laboratory tests.

Undisturbed soil samples are obtained by using coring tools which preserve the natural structure and properties of the subsoil. The extracted undisturbed soil samples are tested later in a laboratory.

2. Прочтите и переведите текст

Setting out the building outline is usually undertaken after the site has been cleared of any obstructions and any reduced level excavation work is finished. It is usually the responsibility of the contractor to set out the building(s) using the information provided by the designer or architect. Accurate setting out is very important and should therefore only be carried out by competent persons and all their work thoroughly checked.

The first task in setting out the building is to establish a base line to which all the setting out can be related. The base line very often coincides with the building line, whose position on site is given by the local authority in front of which no development is permitted.

The objective of setting out trenches is twofold. Firstly it must establish the excavation size, shape and direction and secondly it must establish the width and position of the walls. By using the building outline profile boards can be set up to control the position, width and possibly the depth of the proposed trenches. The trench width can be marked on the profile with either nails or sawcuts and with a painted band if required for identification.

2. Прочтите и переведите текст

Levelling is a process of establishing height dimensions, relative to a fixed point or datum. Datum is meant sea level, which varies between different countries. For UK purposes this is established at Newlyn in Cornwall. Relative levels defined by bench marks are located throughout the country. The most common, identified as carved arrows, can be found cut into walls of stable structures.

On site it is usual to measure levels from a temporary bench mark, i.e. a manhole cover or other permanent fixture.

Instruments consist of a level (tilting or automatic) and a staff. A tilting level is basically a telescope mounted on a tripod for stability. Correcting screws establish accuracy in the horizontal plane by air bubble in a vial. Cross hairs of horizontal and vertical lines indicate image sharpness on an extending staff of 3, 4 or 5 m length. An automatic level is much simpler to use, eliminating the need for manual adjustment.

Theodolite – a tripod mounted instrument designed to measure angles in the horizontal or vertical plane.


the theodolite in principle
For measurement a telescope provides a focal location between the instrument and a subject. The position of the scope is defined by an index of angles. The scale and presentation of angles varies from traditional micrometer readings to computer compatible crystal displays. Angles are measured in degrees, minutes and seconds, e.g. 165° 53' 30''.


At least two sightings are taken and the readings averaged. After the first sighting, the horizontal plate is rotated through 180° and the scope also rotated 180° through the vertical to return the instrument to its original alignment for the second reading. This process will move the vertical circle from right face to left face, or vice-versa.

Materials used for construction purposes possess different proper­ties. They differ in durability, strength, weight, fire- and decay-resistance and, naturally, cost.

Wood, timber, brick, stone, concrete, metals, and plastics belong to the most popular building materials used nowadays. They all have their advantag­es and disadvantages that are taken into account when designing a structure.

Wood belongs to naturally growing materials. It is known to be the oldest construction material and is still widely used for different purposes. Wood is popular since it has low weight and is easy to work. Besides, it grows naturally and is cheap. But its usage is limited because of its disad­vantages: it easily burns and decays. As to stone, it also belongs to the old­est building materials. Among its advantages there are strength, high heat insulation and fire-resistance.

Brick belongs to artificial construction materials. It has been used in many countries and in different climates. In modern times bricks vary wide­ly with the method of production and temperature of burning.

Concrete is known to be one of the most popular building materials. It is produced by mixing cement, gravel, water, and sand in the proper amounts.

Metals belong to hard and fire-resistant building materials. There exist two main groups of metals: ferrous and non-ferrous. Non-ferrous are metals whose main component is not iron. As to iron, steel and their al­loys, they belong to the group of ferrous metals.

3. Прочтите и переведите текст

Wood has been a highly used building material since prehistoric times. Among other highly used construction materials there are concrete, steel, brick, stone, and plastics. They all differ in their properties and in the methods of usage. Construction materials are known to differ in strength, hardness, fire- and corrosion-resistance durability, and, naturally, cost.

Being the oldest building material, wood is also known to be the only naturally growing organic material. Is wood strong? Hardly so, because wood always contains some water which decreases its strength. But after the wood is cut, the water content starts to evaporate and as the water content decreases the strength of the cut wood and its hardness start to increase. It is a well-known fact that the drier is the cut wood the greater is its strength and hardness.

Trees are known to grow naturally, which makes wood a constantly renewable natural resource. Among other advantages of wood there are its low cost, low weight, and high workability. But, as any other construction material, wood has its disadvantages. The main ones are the following - it is not fire-resistant, it easily burns. Besides, it easily decays.
