BLT141_FINAL EXAM

A stretched element used in a concrete member of structure to impart pre-stress to the concrete.

• Tendon

• Cable

• Reinforcement

A group of tendons form a pre-stressing cable

• Wire

• Cable

• Tendon

Internal stresses are induced in a member to counteract the external stresses which are developed due to the external loads or service loads. What do you call this?

• Pre-stress

• Reinforcement

• Pre-tensioned

A method of pre-stressing concrete by tensioning the tendons against hardened concrete. In this method, the pre-stress is imparted to concrete by bearing.

• Post-tensioning

• Reinforcement

• Pre-tensioned

A device generally used to enable the tendon to impart and maintain pre-stress in concrete.

• Hydraulic

• Wire

• Anchorage

When two different materials are bound together so strongly that they act together as a single unit from a structural point of view

• Combined construction

• Composite construction

• Reinforced Concrete

What is CHB stands for?

• Concrete Hallow Blocks

• Concrete Hollow Blocks

• Concrete Hallow Bricks

A method of pre-stressing concrete in which the tendons are tensioned before the concrete is placed.

• Reinforcing

• Post-tensioning

• Pre-tensioning

Steel framing and pre-fabricated steel floor decks are just some of the examples of what type of construction?

• Composite Construction

• Pre- Engineered Building

• Pre-cast

A type of tensile structures in which the all the member are in linear tensile forces.

• Three-dimensional Tensile Structures

• Linear Tensile Structures    

• Surface-Stressed Tensile Structures
