Axial load
Load perpendicular to the cross-section of the stress remember but which DOES NOT PASS through the cEnter of the cross section
Essentric load
Load applied OFF/CENTERED from the cross-section of the structure component in at an angle shoe or in the same plane as the cross-section. Produces a twisting the fact that creates sheer stress in material

The weight of the soil removed is equal to the weight of the building construction in the same way as a mat slab foundation is what kind of foundation ?
Floating foundation
More costly than shallow foundations they are only used where is shadow foundations cannot be used. Take the form of piles in pairs that penetrate the layer of this or directly under a building to reach sure the rock they can support the weight of the building
Deep foundation
Type of plan that includes policy procedure and rules that are use frequency to manage the day-to-day emergencies and non-emergency units activities
Standing plans
Type of plan that accomplish is a specific objective such as the development of a program project or budget
Single use plan
Plans that Take into account the external factors that affect an organization such as change in the economics demographics Serve its requirements hazards and technology
Strategic plans
Focus on our objectives will be accomplished these objective factor base plans deal with factors that are within control of an organization while strategic plans are subjective
Operational /Administrator plans
Strategic plans are
Subjective
Great alternative plans that can be implemented in a event of UNFORSEEN events they make original plans unsuitable

Establishment of priorities for action
Identified control measures for each significant risk
Risk control techniques
Ongoing process to MONITOR
the risk control measures
Risk management monitoring
Steel trusses can be fabricated in variety of shapes to meet specific applicationsFrequently used in three-dimensional space frames in which they are known as DT
Delta trussses
Use a steel strands cable scratch between anchors producing a tensileForce in the steel
Pre tension and reinforced concrete
Uses reinforcing steel cables that are not tensioned until after Congress has hardened to a certain strength
