Chapter 7 & 9

Question 1

Short Column

Small height to width ratio

Answer 1

Ultimate load carrying capacity is based on material strength and cross section material not length

Question 2

Long column

Large height to width ratio

Answer 2

Ultimate load carrying capacity is not primarily based on the materials strength and total amount of cross section material but overall length and slowness ratio

Question 3

Slenderness ratio

Answer 3

Of a column ratio between the height or length of a structural element and the width of thickened of the element. The higher the slenderness ratio, the more slender the structural element

Question 4

Buckling

Answer 4

The axial load at which a straight column or structural member starts to bend

Question 5

Stabilizing subsystems

Answer 5

Structural systems that provide resistance to lateral (horizontal) loads

Question 6

Shear wall

Answer 6

Wall which in its own place carries shear resulting from lateral loads such a wind blast or earthquake

Question 7

Braced frame

Answer 7

The frame of a building in which the resistance to lateral forces as to frame instability by providing bracing

Question 8

Resisting walls

Two parallels

Answer 8

Non stable in other direction

Question 9

Resisting walls

Two perpendicular

Answer 9

Non stable corner room

Question 10

Resisting walls

Three parallel + perpendicular

Answer 10

Stable
