The maximum load that a column, footing, joint, or wall can sustain at failure, divided by the effective bearing area.

The maximum permissible load on a pile that provides adequate safety against movement of such magnitude that would endanger the structure supported by the pile.

A cast-in-place pile; made by driving a tube into the ground, emptying the tube, then filling with concrete.

A concrete pile which is concreted either with a casing or without a casing at its permanent location.

A foundation of reinforced concrete whose weight, together with that of the imposed loads, is approximately equal to the weight of the displaced soil and/or water.

A combined footing, of prismatic or truncated shape, which supports two or more columns in a row.

A propriety name for a cylindrical column which is concrete filled; used as a structural column to support beams or girders.

The primary structural concept that is expressed in the architecture of Fallingwater, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is the use of

Beam which connects footings

A structural beam whose ends are fixed.

A hollow beam, usually rectangular in section; if fabricated of steel, the sides are steel plates welded together, or they may be riveted together by steel angles at the corners.

What is a Girder?

A one-way slab is used typically in which of the following types of buildings?

A slab which extends as a unit over three or more supports in a given direction.

In a tall building of steel-frame construction, an exterior wall that is non-loadbearing, having no structural function.

A statement applying to given concrete materials and conditions of test: For a mixture of workable consistency, the strength of concrete provided by the mixture is determined by the ratio of the amount of water to the amount of cement.

The degree of firmness, or the relative ability of freshly mixed concrete, grout, or mortar to flow; usually measured by the slump test for concrete, and by the flow test for mortar, plaster, cement paste, or grout.

The most important factor affecting the strength of concrete is the

Maintaining the humidity and temperature of freshly placed concrete during some definite period following placing, casting, or finishing to assure satisfactory hydration of the cementitious materials and proper hardening of the concrete.

The stress which resists the shortening effect of an external compressive force

The ratio of the minimum compressive strength of a material, such as a concrete, to the average compressive strength.

That load which causes the tensile stress in a structural concrete member to exceed the tensile strength of the concrete.

What is a force that is defined as the turning effect of a force about a pivot and is the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the pivot.

What is a system where the members can rotate freely. Also, loads should be applied at the joints of members so that no bending or shear forces will be generated on its members.

What is a system where the members are connected rigidly at joints and individual members can carry transverse load, which may generate bending moment, shear forces along with axial forces.

What is a force that occurs when a physical force presses inward on an object, causing it to become squeezed.

What is a force which is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by different means.

What do you call the gradual permanent deformation produced by continuous application of loads?

What do you call the failure to maintain elastic limit due to the application of repeated series of stress.
