If the slab is permanently exposed to the ground, minimum concrete cover is ______ clear.

A beam resisting on simple supports at both ends which are free to rotate and have no moment resistance

Walls that provide large strength and stiffness to building in the direction of their orientation

Carries earthquake loads down to the foundation

Usually expressed in terms of its deflection from its original unloaded position

The free-body diagram of any joint is a concurrent force system in which the summation of moment will be of no help.

A wall designed to resist the lateral forces parallel to the place of the wall

Opposite of the Pratt truss

The underlying structure forming the foundation of a building or other structures

A type of slab supported directly by concrete columns without the use of beams

The distance between points of zero moment when the column is deflected in its fundamental elastic buckling mode

A tension member used to limit the deflection of a girt or purlin in the direction of its weak axis or to limit the sag in angle bracing

A bending moment that produces moment that produces a convex curvature at a section of a structure

Parallel to the longer side

Thickness of slab should not be less than?

A type of truss that includes vertical members and diagonals that slope up towards the center

A projecting beam supported at only one end fixed

Parallel to the shorter side

The use of ___________ in flat slabs increase the shear strength of slab and reduce the moment in the slab by reducing the clear or effective span

A graphic representation of the variation in magnitude of the external shears present in a structure

Spacing of temperature bars should not be greater than?

Part of any wall entirely above the roof line

A slight convex curvature intentionally built into beam, girder, or truss to compensate for an anticipated deflection

One of a series of sloped structural members (beams) that extend from the ridge or hip to the wall plate

Spacing of main bars should not be greater than?

Supported by beams in all four sides

In this method, we cut the truss into two sections by passing a cutting plane through the members whose internal forces we wish to determine.

A type of slab that are either one-way or two-way system
