24
Q

It is determining and selecting the overall dimensions of the supporting frameworks or members in a structure

A

STRUCTURAL DESIGN

25
Q

Structures are designed to resist many types of loads including dead loads, live loads, wind loads, and earthquake loads.

A

Loads and Stresses

26
Q

The dead load to be assumed in design consists of the weight of steelwork and all material permanently fastened or supported by it

A

Dead load and Live load

27
Q

For structures carrying live loads which induce impact, the assumed live load must be increased sufficiently by the percentage provided in the given table below

A

Impact loads

28
Q

is that unit tensile stress at which the stress-strain curve exhibits a well(defined increase in strain (deformation) without an increase in stress.

A

Yield Stress, Fy

29
Q

is the largest unit stress that the material achieves in a tension test

A

Tensile Strength, Fu,

30
Q

is the slope of the initial straight-line portion of the stress-strain diagram. It is usually taken as 200,000 MPa for design calculation for all structural steel

A

Modulus of Elasticity, E

31
Q

is the ability of the material to undergo large inelastic deformations without fracture.

A

Ductility

32
Q

is the ability of the material to absorb energy and is characterized by the area under stress-strain curve.

A

Toughness

33
Q

is the ability of steel to be welded without changing its basic mechanical properties.

A

Weldability

34
Q

is the ratio of the transverse strain to longitudinal strain. Poisson’s ratio is essentially the same for all structural steels and has a value of 0 in the elastic range.

A

Poisson’s Ratio

35
Q

is the ratio of the shearing stress to shearing strain during the initial elastic behavior

A

Shear Modulus

36
Q

The steel enters to a continuous casting system where it solidifies and passes through series of rollers

A

Hot-rolled

37
Q

Bending thin material such as sheet steel or plate into the desired shape without heating.

A

Cold-formed
