Structural Conceptualization

Forces whose line of action passes thru a single/ same point

• Gravity Forces

• Concurrent Forces

• Non concurrent Forces

• Perpendicular Forces

A type of load that is fixed, like the weight of structural elements.

• Wind load

• Dead load

• Live load

• Earthquake load

Which is the most destructive during earthquakes?

• Earthquake magnitude

• Building acceleration

• Ground acceleration

• Poor construction

A vector active structural framing that borrows its rigidity and stability from the triangulation of web members.

• Rafter Framing

• Truss Framing

The space within the web of a truss between 2 panel points on a chord.

• Panel

• Peak

• Frame

• Chord

Defined as load per unit area that a particular material is subjected to.

• Tension

• Deformation

• Stress

• Load

A type of stress that tends to shorten an object or material

• Deformation

• Compression

• Tension

• Load

The general term refering to the changes in geometry or material form of an object or structural element as a result of being subjected to loads and stresses.

• Tearing

• Deformation

• Shearing

• Bending

Curvilinear deformation due to simultaneous compressive & tensile stresses.

• Shearing deformation

• Bending/ Flexural deformation

• Axial deformation

For buildings with more than 200 meters in height, the dominant consideration are earthquake loads more than wind loads.

• True

• False
