23
Q

The stress remains constant, even though the strain continues to increase.

A

Plastic Range

24
Q

Additional load (and stress) is required to cause additional elongation (and strain).

A

Strain Hardening

25
Q

When the specimen begins to neck down as the stress decreases with increasing strain followed by fracture.

A

Necking and Failure

26
Q

The yield point or yield strength is the combination of what several points on the stress-strain diagram?

A

Elastic Limit
Proportional Limit
Upper and lower yield point

27
Q

It is the maxium value of stress that can be attained in a stress-strain diagram.

A

Ultimate Tensile Strength

28
Q

This is the ratio of stress to strain within the elastic range.

A

Modulus of Elasticity

29
Q

These are types of structural steels made up of mostly iron and carbon, with less than 1% carbon.

A

Plain Carbon Steels

30
Q

These are types of structural steels made up of iron and carbon plus other components (usually less than 5%) primarily for increasing strength, which is accomplished at the expense of a reduction in ductility

A

Low Alloy Steels

31
Q

These are types of structural steels made up of iron and carbon plus other components (usually greater than 5%). They have high strength and have some special quality such as resistance to corrosion.

A

High Alloy or Specialty Steels

32
Q

The manufacturing process of these types of structural shapes takes place in mill, molten steel is taken from an electric arc furnace and poured into a continuous casting system where the steel solidifies but is never allowed to cool completely, and then passes through a series of rollers that squeeze the material into the desired cross-sectional shape.

A

Hot Rolled Shapes

33
Q

A steel shape where it has two parallel flanges separated by a single web and has two axes of symmetry.

A

W-shaped (wide-flanged shape)

34
Q

A shape formerly called an I-Beam. Similar to W shape but flanges has sloping inside face

A

American Standard (S-Shape)

35
Q

This shape is available either equal or unequal leg and do not provide the weight per foot.

A

Angle Shapes (L-Shape)

36
Q

2 flanges and a web with 1 AOS, inside faces of flanges are sloping.

A

American Standard Channel ( C-Shape)

37
Q

This is referred to as Split-Tee. Abbreviated as WT,ST or MT depending on which shape is the parent.

A

Structural Tee

38
Q

HP shape is used for

A

Bearing piles

39
Q

This can be of circular, square or rectagular shape.

Rectangular= width is less than 8 inches

A

40
Q

Rectangular = width is greater than 8 inches.
Abbreviation is PL

A

Plate

41
Q

What is HSS?

A

Hollow Structural Sections

42
Q

This shapes are produced either by bending pate material into the desired shape or welding the seam or by hot-working to produce a seamless shape In addition this is also categorized as “Steel pipes, round HSS, square and rectangular HSS”.

A

Hollow Shapes

43
Q

Formula for stress

A

f=P/A ;

44
Q

Formula for strain

A

E= delta L/L

45
Q

these types of shapes are made by bending thin sheets of carbon or low-alloy steels into almost any desired cross section. There is a reduction in ductility but there is a significant increase in strength.

A

Cold Formed Shapes

46
Q

What serves as economical forms for the wet concrete and are left in place after the concrete hardens.

A

Concrete floor slabs cast on formed steel decks

47
Q

Types of CFS

A

Channel
Stiffened Channel
Zee
Stiffened Zee
Hat
Sigma
Angle

48
Q

These shapes are made when there is a special condition such as the need for heavier members of particular cross sectional geometries.

A

Built-Up Sections

49
Q

Types of BUS which are welded or bolted

A

Welded Plate Girder

Q

keep in mind factors that lower costs can without sacrifice of strength

A

Cost

52
Q

54
Q

This is the largest stress for which Hooke’s Law applies, or the highest point on the linear portion of the stress strain diagram.

A

Proportional Limit

55
Q

The largest stress that a material can withstand without being permanently deformed.
