A4- Loading Flashcards
1
Q
What are the 3 types of loading that degrade construction materials?
1.
2.
3.
A
Static loading.
Cyclic loading.
Shock loading.
1
Q
What is static loading?
A
Constant loading causing material failure overtime.
2
Q
What is cyclic loading?
A
Constantly varying dynamic loading which causes fatigue.
3
Q
What is shock loading?
A
High dynamic loads causing catastrophic failure.
4
Q
What are the 3 types of failure due to compressive loading:
1.
2.
3.
A
- Buckling.
- Compressive failure.
- Compressive yielding.
5
Q
Yielding is when a material ___________________.
Failure is when a material ____________________.
A
changes shape
fully breaks
6
Q
What is buckling?
A
When a structural member deflects sideways due to compression.
