Question 1

A member is selected that has crosssectional 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

Answer 1

Allowable Strength Design (ASD)

Question 2

Allowable Stress Design (ASD) is also called

Answer 2

elastic design/working stress design

Question 3

Based on a consideration of failure conditions rather than working load conditions

Answer 3

Plastic design

Question 4

Load factors are applied to service loads, and a member is selected that will have enough strength to resist the factored loads

Answer 4

Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)

Question 5

Structural elements that are subjected to axial tensile forces

Answer 5

Tension members

Question 6

A tension member can fail by reaching one of the two limits

Answer 6

Excessive deformation/fracture
