Across
- 3. The opposition of current flow in a circuit.
- 4. The unit of measurement for voltage.
- 6. ______of a member describes its resistance to deformation.
- 7. The force that causes current to flow in a circuit.
- 9. A structural unit such as a wall, column, beam, or tie, or a combination of any of these.
- 10. A structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally. Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending.
- 13. A rigid structural element, such as a beam or a plate, anchored at one end to a (usually vertical) support from which it protrudes; this connection could also be perpendicular to a flat, vertical surface such as a wall.
- 14. A circuit where components are connected end-to-end and there is a single path for current to flow..
- 16. The distance from one support to the other for a single member.
- 17. Force that causes bending, or curvature, of a structural member.
- 19. Unit of measurement for electrical current.
- 21. An instrument used to measure the properties of an electrical circuit.
- 22. Unit of measurement for resistance to the flow of electricity.
- 23. A substance that is resistant to the flow of electrical current.
Down
- 1. A force applied to any member of the structure or the structure itself.
- 2. Movement or curvature of a loaded structural member.
- 5. A substance through which electrical current flows easily.
- 8. A movement of electrons that provides light, heat, sound, and motion.
- 11. Axial force applied along the length causing elongation of a structural element.
- 12. A circuit where there are multiple paths for current to flow.
- 15. Force causing shortening of a structural member.
- 16. A thin structural member, usually of concrete or stone. Also refers to floors or roofs of concrete.
- 18. The center of gravity of a structural member.
- 20. The flow of electric charge in a circuit.
