a site for civil words meaning 1

[yabi]

Is there any site, explaining basic civil engineering words like, stud, joist, tie, strap and etc?

A quick google search revealed these two sites which might be of some use. There are plenty of published engineering dictionaries out there. I have Bretts Illustrated Dictionary of Building myself.

I bought an engineering dictionary from Borders for 20 bucks a couple of years ago. It has everything you could think of in it.
