Flashcards do conjunto (29)
- 1dynamic loadsany load on a structure that is not caused by gravity
- 2static loadscaused by the force of gravity
- 3dead loadThey do not change. The structure always supports them and it is caused by the force of gravity acting on it
- 4Live loadthe type of static load weight of the object it supports
- 5shell structurea hollow structure with a curved shape providing high strength and rigity
- 6solid structurehard throughout very heavy, carry lots of dead weight
- 7tensionwhen something is being stretched out
- 8torsioninternal, created when an object is twisted
- 9compressionwhen something is pushed together to compress it
- 10shearinternal, object is pushed or pulled in opposite directions and the objects bends, rips, tears, or snaps.
- 11centre of gravitywhere the gravity acts
- 12designing stable structuresWide base, narrow top, lowering centre of gravity,
- 13stable shapespyramids are the most stable shapes because they have a narrow top and a very wide base.
- 14beama horizantle struckture designed to support a load
- 15archa curved stucture used to span a space while supporting a load
- 16domea shell structure that looks like the top half of a sphere
- 17external forcea force acting on an object or structure from the outside
- 18formthe shape or physical appearance of a structure
- 19frame structurea network of parts thatsupport loads
- 20frictiona force produced when objects rub against eachother
- 21functionthe task or purpose of a structure
- 22massthe quantity of matter in an object commonly measured in grams or kilos
- 23matteranything that takes up space and has mass
- 24plane of applicationan imaginary flat surface through wich and applied force passes
- 25point of aplicationthe location on a object where an external force is applied
- 26stabilitythe ability of a structure to remain in or return to a stable balanced position when forces act on it
- 27trussa network of beams arranged in triangles
- 28weightthe force of gravity acting downword on a object
