Across
- 5. of Inertia A measure of a section’s resistance to bending.
- 6. Sideways Forces are.....
- 12. A beam supported only at one end.
- 13. The displacement of a structural element under load.
- 15. A vertical element that carries compressive loads.
- 16. The process of planning, creating, and shaping something so that it works well, solves a problem
- 17. A pushing force that shortens a material.
- 18. A strong, flexible metal made mostly from iron and carbon.
- 20. Load Temporary loads like people, vehicles, or furniture.
- 22. The distance between two supports.
- 23. Internal force per unit area within a material.
- 24. Up and Down Forces are...
Down
- 1. A horizontal structural element that resists bending.
- 2. The base that transfers loads to the ground.
- 3. Steel bars or mesh added to concrete to improve strength
- 4. The deformation caused by stress.
- 7. The force applied to a structure (e.g. weight, wind, traffic).
- 8. Sudden failure of a column under compression.
- 9. Excellent at handling compression, which is why it’s used in foundations
- 10. Load The permanent weight of the structure itself.
- 11. A pulling force that stretches a material.
- 14. The stress at which a material begins to deform permanently.
- 18. A Greek letter used in Mathematics to indicate 'the sum of'
- 19. A framework of triangles used to support roofs or bridges.
- 21. Moment The rotational force that causes a beam to bend.
