Q

the _____ of a building is an ideal example of floor structure

A

floor framing

17
Q

columns can also be modeled with the floor in a _____ structure as long as the structure has no horizontal loading; if there is any horizontal load, it must be analyzed as a _____ structure

A

floor; space

18
Q

an assembly of individual components such as beams, columns, slabs, plates, etc.

A

structure

19
Q

in STAAD, these two may be used to model the structural components

A

frame elements and plate elements

20
Q

2 steps in modeling the structure geometry

A

(1) identification and description of joints or nodes
(2) modeling of members or elements through specifications of connectivity (incidences) between joints

21
Q

it refers to the frame elements

A

member

22

true or false:

you may also create your own customized toolbar in STAAD.Pro

A

true

28
Q

each tab on the _____ allows you to perform specific tasks

A

page control

29
Q

it represents the logical sequence of operations, such as, definition of beams, specification of member properties, loading, and so on

A

organization of the pages from top to bottom (in page control)

30

this is the largest area at the center of the screen, where the model drawings and results displayed in pictorial form

A

main window

33
Q

it is the right side of the screen, where different dialogs, tables, list boxes, etc. appear depending on the type of operation you are performing

A

data area

34
Q

when you select the ____ page, the data area contains the node coordinate table and the member-incidence table

A

geometry | beam

35
Q

when you are in the _____ page, the contents of the data area changes to display the currently assigned load cases and the icons for different types of loads

A

load

36
Q

the icons in the toolbar as well as in the _____ offer tooltip help and this floating tooltip help will identify icons

A

page control area

37
Q

A

global coordinate system

38
Q

this coordinate system is a rectangular coordinate system (X, Y, Z) which follows the orthogonal right hand rule

A

conventional cartesian coordinate system

39
Q

this coordinate system may be used to define the joint locations and loading directions

A

conventional cartesian coordinate system
