ARCH 331 - Quiz 1 Questions with Complete Solutions 100% Verified|
Latest Update Graded A+
two-way systems characterized by elements that channel load in a complex manner
involving load transfer in two directions
reactions response to an externally applied force or moment to keep a body in equilibrium
grids and patterns Regular, square, and triangular, cellular, vertical and horizontal, irregular.
Useful to give order.
bearing wall a load bearing wall that typically carries both vertically acting loads and laterally
acting loads, such as wind load, along its depths
special truss member configurations with four members four members (or forces) with the
two each in line will have equal forces of the ones in line
lateral resistance options bracing of pin or rigid frames, rigid frames, shear walls, cores and
diaphragms
law of transmissibility principle that the external force acting at a point is replaced by a force
of equal magnitude at another point on the same line of action
structural system performance requirements strength of elements, stability of elements,
stability of system, lateral resistance (no overturning, sliding or excessive distortions)
Arch a curved element that is an efficient shape to support gravity and compression loads
and for large spans
, equivalent force systems a system that has the same resulting force and moment, but with a
different arrangement of forces and moments
slab or plate a horizontal surface forming element which resists two-way bending stress and
shear
scalars quantities that have magnitude
zero-force member a member carrying force, but required for geometric stability
method of joints the method fro truss member analysis using free body diagram of the
joints and two equations of equillibrium
column a slender vertical element that carries axial load in compression
snow load load from the weight of snow
scale to increase in amount or size according to a fixed scale or standard, commonly using a
fraction or factor
perpendicular at 90 degrees
kinetic friction the friction force which is a magnitude based on the coefficient of kinetic
friction and the normal force for an object in contact with a material that will keep an object in
motion
