INTRODUCTION TO CMT

Is the response of the Material to external loads

• Material Properties

• Durability Properties

• Mechanical Properties

• Geometrical Properties

Generally associated with long-term deformations can occur in metals ionic and covalent crystals, amorphous materials

• Durability

• Strength

• Viscous Flow

• Creep

Long and slender members subjected to axial compression may fail due to ________________

• Stress

• Deformation

• Buckling

• Loading

Refer to characteristics of the material, other than load response that affect selection, use, and performance

• Quality

• Nonmechanical Properties

• Ductility

• Strength

There are three general terms used to describe the _____, _______, and ____________ relationships of materials

• Mass

• Weight

• Quality

• Volume

Are responsible for the selection, specification, and quality control of materials to be used in a job.

Force per unit area is defined as __________ of the specimen

• Strain

• Deformation

• Density

• Stress

Is the ratio of the mass of a substance relative to the mass of an equal volume of water at a specified temperature

• Unit Weight

• Density

• Specific Gravity

• Material Density

Considerations include availability of the material and the ability to fabricate the material.

• Fabrication

• Production

• Marketing

• Pre-fabrication

Is responsible for working with architect to ensure that the aesthetic characteristics of the facility are compatible with the structural requirements
