Statics and Strenghts of Materials

Question 1

Structure

Answer 1

Something made up of interdependent parts in a definite pattern of organization- and interrelation of parts. Achieving the most strength from the least material through the most appropriate arrangement of elements

Question 2

Loads on Structure

Answer 2

Static, Dynamic, Dead Loads, Live Loads,Wind loads, Earthquake Loads

Question 3

Static

Answer 3

Gravity type forces

Question 4

Dynamic

Answer 4

inertia of momentum of the mass of the structure like earthquakes. the more sudden and starting or stopping of the structure the greater the force will be.

Question 5

Dead load

Answer 5

fixed loads like structural weight, flooring, internal forces

Question 6

Live Loads

Answer 6

movable loads like people, storage and furniture

Question 7

Wind Loads

Answer 7

topography affects how the wind will strike the building

Question 8

Earthquake Loads

Answer 8

Geographic location. Computer simulations

Question 9

Characteristics of a force

Answer 9

Isaac Newtons 3 laws

point of application, magnitude, direction

Question 10

Newtons First Law of a force

Answer 10

any body at rest will remain at rest and any body in motion will move uniformly in a straight line unless acted upon by force. ( Equilibrium)

Question 11

Newtons Second Law of a force

Answer 11

The time rate of change of momentum is equal to the force producing it, and the change takes place in the direction in which the force is acting (F=ma)

Question 12

Newtons Third Law of a force

Answer 12

For every force of action there is a reaction that is equal in magnitude opposite in direction and has the same line of action

Question 13

F=ma

Answer 13

Newtons second Law

Question 14

functional requirements

Answer 14

1. Stability and equilibrium
2. strength and stiffness
3. economy
4. functionality
5. aesthetics

Question 15

Criteria for selection of structural systems

Answer 15

Nature and magnitude of loads,
Building use /function
Site conditions building systems integration fire resistance construction variables Architectural form and space
