It is very important for a structure to have strength and stability.
Strength of a structure is...
the ability to withstand ground force.
the ability to balance and stay fixed in one spot.
the ability to support a load.
the ability to assemble structural parts.
Meanwhile, the stability of a structure is...
the ability to withstand ground force.
the ability to balance and stay fixed in one spot.
the ability to support a load.
the ability to assemble structural parts.
Steel is often used in construction because
it is cheap
it is light
it is durable
it is expensive
One example of horizontal load on a structure is
(a)
one example of vertical load on a structure is
(a)
Three basic types of stress in a structural component are
stress, strain and rupture
lateral load, live load and dead load
gravity, live load and dead load
compression, tension and shear
Definition of 'Strain' in materials is
the narrowing of the material
The amount of shortening or lengthening when material deform
the internal force per unit area acting within a structural element
when the material separates into two pieces
Braced Frames are
lateral force resisting mechanisms by various systems of diagonal members
rigid vertical planes that are relatively thin and long
vertical members that carry load to the ground
Stress in materials can be defined as
A measure of the internal force per unit area acting within a structural element
The resistance to deformation under load
The amount of shortening or lengthening, measured against the original unstressed length
A repeated load cycles and causes cracks in material
Reinforced concrete columns can fail due to
Deflection
Tension
Strain
Buckling
Shear walls are
special type of frame that uses rigid connections between each of its members
rigid vertical planes that are relatively thin and long to resist lateral loads
a horizontal structural member that supports loads
beams with three or more supports
Which one is NOT the causes of structural failure?
Inaccurate design drawings
The use of steel as structural column
Material deficiencies
Inadequate supervision
