Q

The max stresses in SI structures are generally lower than those in comparable determinate structures

A

Smaller stresses

17
Q

SI structures generally have higher stiffnesses than those of comparable determinate structures.

A

Greater stiffnesses

18
Q

A system is said to be ____ if the support reactions and the internal forces cannot be determined using statics alone.

A

Indeterminate

19
Q

Consists of more members and more supports

A

Indeterminate structures

20
Q

Support settlements do not cause any stresses in determinate structures, they may, however, induce significant stresses in independence structures, which should be taken into account when designing IS.

A

Stresses due to support settlements

21
Q

Like support settlements, these effects do not cause stresses in determinate structures but may induce significant stresses in indeterminate ones.

A

Stresses due to temperature changes and fabrication errors

22
Q

Most of the structures designed today are SI.

A

True

23
Q

RC buildings are considered in most cases a statically indeterminate structures since the columns beams are considered as continuous member through the joints over the support.

A

True

24
Q

Are generally convenient for analyzing small structures with few redundant.

A

Force methods

25
Q

More systematic, can be easily implemented on computers, preferred for the analysis of large and highly redundant structures.
