Structural Engineering questions with correct answers

In this module, you will be a student engineer and you will apply mathematical and scientific data to configure structural forms and meet hands-on challenges. After building and testing a variety of beam sections, stressed panels and trusses, you will design, engineer and construct a model bridge. The bridge is then stress tested on our computer-interfaced structural tester where you will observe and record the results of your construction techniques. - Answer In this module you will: Identify and strength test different types of beams and panels used in structures. Appropriately use hand-held cutting tools and safely operate a testing device. Identify and classify the portion of a structure's frame under tension, torsion, shear, and compression. Demonstrate, predict, and evaluate the behavior of loaded structural systems. Identify, describe, and clarify the major stresses and causes of structural failure on spanning structures. Design and build two different trusses then evaluate for strength. Here are the activities in this module: Activity: Building Beams Activity: Composite Beams Activity: Beam Testing Activity: Designing Trusses Activity: Truss Construction Activity: Test and Writing Assessment Activity: Testing the Trusses Activity: Video - Bridge Construction Activity: Design Brief Activity: Internet Research - Bridge Construction
