Structures - Correct Answer An arrangement of parts build to remain stable while withstanding
forces and support/transmit specific loads for practical purposes
All areas of civil engineering must have a good understanding of - Correct Answer structures
Load - Correct Answer the forces a structure must withstand
Types of loads and explain - Correct Answer Static loads
-Weight of the structure itself (AKA dead load)
-Weight added under normal use (AKA live load)
Dynamic loads
-A sudden impact on the structure
Why do engineers build structures? - Correct Answer Engineers build structures so the internal forces
counteract the loads.
Structures in state of equilibrium (equal and opposite forces meaning net force is 0) - Correct Answer
- Can oppose external forces
- Can transfer load throughout structure
Types of Structural Forces and explain - Correct Answer Compression (crushing/pressing force).
Tension(pulling), Shear force (forces acting in opposite directions), Torsion(turning force), Bending
Force (FORCE CAUSING SAGGING)
When a bending or torsion force is applied to a material; the material is under a ______ and
________ force - Correct Answer compression; tension
Name types of structural components - Correct Answer Beam, columns, braces, joints
