Questions with Answers
A structural member, usually horizontal, that carries a load that is applied
transverse to its length - -Beam
- A diagram used to isolate a body from its environment, showing all
external constraints and forces acting upon it and all geometric
measurements necessary to model the body. - -Free-body Diagram
- A category used to determine structural requirements based on occupancy
of the building. - -Occupancy Category
- A beam which is supported such that the number of unknown reaction
forces is equal to the number of equilibrium equations. - -Statically
Determinate Beam
- The weight of movable objects such as people, furnishings, machines,
vehicles, and goods in or on a building. - -Live Load
- A beam that is supported on one end by a pin support and supported on
the other end by a roller support. - -Simple Beam
- A condition of a frame or structure in which a slight disturbance in the
loads or geometry of the structure does not produce large displacements or
failure. - -Stability
- A support condition in which translation of a structural member is
restricted in only one direction and rotation is not restricted. A roller support
provides one reaction force when the member is loaded. - -Roller (Rocker)
Support
- The internal force, usually in a beam, which acts in the plane of the cross-
section of the beam. - -Shear Force
- The tendency of a force to rotate an object about a point. - -Moment
- A factor intended to compensate for uncertainties in a design and analysis
by reducing the theoretical strength of a member for use in design. - -Safety
Factor
- A reinforced concrete beam that transmits the load from a bearing wall
into a spaced foundation such as pile caps or caissons. - -Grade Beam
