Chapter 3: Structural Design Features Flashcards
The direction of force is from loads acting on the interior of structural members is expressed as?
Stress
One common type of reaction is a_____within a horizontal structural component that is loaded vertically.
Bending moment
Stressors within a material are classified according to the direction of force.
Tension
Compression
Shear
The total structures within a structural member must be lower than the_____of the material for the structure to remain intact.
Failure point
A____load is not fixed or permanent.
Live load
A____load is fixed and location and quantifiable.
Dead load
_______Loads are steady or are applied gradually.
Static load
__________Load involve motion and are capable of delivering energy greatly in excess of the weight of the object involved.
Dynamic load
Wind may produce a suction affect on the downside of the building resulting in outward pressure, what is this referred as?
Negative pressure
An____is a curved structural member with primarily compressive interior stresses.
Arch
_______Are frame structural unit made up of a group of triangles in one plane.
Trusses
The top and bottom members of a truss are called?
Chords
__________are three dimensional trust structures.
Space frames
_________Are commonly place at the exterior of a structure, but they may also include internal walls.
Load bearing walls
Bearing wall structures use walls to support spanning elements, including?
Beams
Trusses
Precast concrete slabs
