Final Exam Study Guide Flashcards
What is a force that tends to cause a rotation or twist about a point?
Moment
What is a moment?
a force that tends to cause a rotation or twist about a point
Moment Equation is M= ? * ?
M=F*(perp dist to origin)
What are the units of a moment?
Force times distance
Name 2 examples of a moment unit
kip-ft, kip-in, lb-ft, lb-in
What is the difference between a dead and a superimposed dead load?
dead– only the structural weight
superimposed– all permanent loads (flooring, roofing, permanent equipment, MEP)
Name some types of superimposed dead loads
flooring, roofing, permanent equipment, MEP
Name some types of dead loads
this is me being silly & tricky,,, it’s just the self-weight
What is the load on a structure that is temporary or transient?
Live load
What is a live load?
A load on a structure that is transient or temporart
What are some examples of live loads?
People, vehicles, partitions, furniture, moveable equipment, snow
What are the units of inertia?
(unit of length)^4
What is a mathematical expression that describes the relative location of material in a cross section?
Moment of Inertia
What is a moment of inertia?
Relative location of material in a cross-section. It resists bending stress and deflection
What is another name for moment of inertia?
Second moment
What is moment of inertia a measure of?
Cross-sectional stiffness
How would one find the Moment of Inertia of Hollow Shapes?
If the centroids of two shapes coincide, you may subtract the moment of inertia of the void from the moment of inertia of the overall body. THIS IS CALLED THE NEGATIVE AREA METHOD
What is the manner in which loads travel throughout the structure?
Load Path
What is a Load Path
the manner in which loads travel throughout the structure
What concept considers the area that a member must support as being halfway between the adjacent similar members?
Tributary area
What is tributary area?
concept that the area that a member must support as being halfway between the adjacent similar members
Beams are classified based on ____
support conditions
What is a simply supported beam?
2 supports, 1 on each end
What is a continuous supported beam?
3 or more supports
What is a cantilever beam
1 end supported rigidly
What is an overhang beam?
2 supports but 1 or both are not located at the end
What is a propped beam??
2 supports, 1 end is fixed
What is a restrained or fixed beam
both supports are fixed, allowing no rotation
What is the mathematical relationship between nominal and actual dimensioning?
1 nominal inch=3/4 actual inch
2-6 n”= -.5” actual
8+” n= -3/4” actual
What concept is represented by the equation I/C, where I is the moment of inertia and c is the distance from the centroidal axis to the extreme fiber
section modulus S
What is the variable S?
Section modulus, a ratio that can be standardized for materials of given size/makeup & found in tables
What is the equation for section modulus S?
I/C
Where C is the distance from the centroidal axis to the extreme fiber
and I is the moment of inertia
This equation is not usually used for standard shapes bc S is in tables
