Answer 1

Tension Members

Question 1

It is simple the total cross-sectional area of the member.

Answer 1

Gross Area

Question 2

The __________ accounts for the non uniform stress distribution when some of the elements of a tension member are not directly connected, such as a single angle or WT member

Answer 2

Shear Lag Factor

Question 3

A failure wherein the tension member ruptures in both shear and tension

Answer 3

Block Shear

Question 4

AISCM gives examples of connections with uniform and non-uniform tension stress distribution, but the most common case is to have a uniform stress distribution and, therefore, Ubs =_____for most cases.

Answer 4

1.0

Question 5

TRUE or FALSE

The properties od steel do not change as oppose to concrete.

Answer 5

TRUE

Question 6

The value of the reduction factor for computing the Block Shear strength is __________.

Answer 6

0.75

Question 7

Steel sections produced by passing red-hot blooms or billet steel through rolls until the desired shape is attained.

Answer 7

Rolled Sections

Question 8

These steel sections were produced by plates welding together into the desired shape and are limited to the use of plates having a thickness greater than or equal to 6 mm.

Answer 8

Built-Up

Question 9

__________ occurs when the stress on the effective area of the section is large enough to cause the member to fracture, which usually occurs across a line of bolts where the tension member is weakest.

Answer 9

Tensile Rupture

Question 10

Answer 10

Alloy Steel

Question 11

Name the 4 most common elements added to steel to make it an alloy steel.

Answer 11

Silicon, Nickel, Manganese, Copper

Question 12

Answer 12

1777-1779

Question 13

The __________ of buildings, whether of structural steel or reinforced concrete, requires the determination of the overall proportions and dimensions of the supporting framework and the selection of the cross sections of individual members.

Answer 13

Structural Design

Question 14

The horizontal members AB and BC are subjected primarily to bending, or flexure, and are called __________.

Answer 14

Beams

Question 15

The member BD is subjected only to axial compression arising from the vertical loads; referred to as __________.

Answer 15

Columns

Question 16

The two vertical members, AE and CF, must resist not only axial compression from the vertical loads but also a significant amount of bending. Such members are called __________.

Answer 16

Beam-Columns

Question 17

Forces or other actions that result from the weight of all building materials, occupants, and their possessions, environmental effects, differential movements, and restrained dimensional changes.

Answer 17

Loads

Question 18

Those loads in which variations over time are rare or of small magnitude. All other loads are variable loads.

Answer 18

Permanent Loads

Question 19

Consist of the weight of all materials and fixed equipment incorporated into the building or other structure.

Answer 19

Dead Loads

Question 20

__________ are those loads produced by the use and occupancy of the building or other structure and do not include dead load, construction load, or environmental loads such as wind load, earthquake load and fluid load.

Answer 20

Live Loads

Question 21

__________ are in the form of pressure or suction on the exterior surfaces of the building. They cause horizontal lateral loads (forces) on the structure, which can be critical for tall buildings. Wind loads also cause uplift of light roof systems.

Answer 21

Wind Loads

Question 22

__________ are live loads on the roof caused during the design life by planters, people, or by workers, equipment, & materials during maintenance.

Answer 22

Roof Live Loads

Question 23

Formed by passing the flat steel products in rolls or by
press brake bending. Divided into two classes: plate & light gage

Answer 23

Cold-Formed

Question 24

A member is selected that has cross-sectional properties such as area and moment of inertia that are large enough to prevent the maximum applied axial force, shear, or bending moment from exceeding an allowable, or permissible, value. This allowable value is obtained by dividing the nominal, or theoretical, strength by a factor of safety.

Answer 24

Allowable Strength Design (ASD)
