Question
Answer
show Strain energy  
🗑
it indicates the maximum amount of strain-energy the material can absorb just before it fractures (ability to absorb energy in plastic range)   show
🗑
show Modulus of Resilience  
🗑
refers to the property of a material which makes it return to its original dimension when the load is removed   show
🗑
refers to the ability of a material to deform in the plastic range without breaking   show
🗑
show Stiffness  
🗑
show flexibility  
🗑
material’s resistance to fracture   show
🗑
show Hardness  
🗑
show Ductile Materials  
🗑
Materials that exhibit little or no yielding before failure are referred to as _______ ________.   show
🗑
has the same physical and mechanical properties throughout its volume or material has the same composition at any point   show
🗑
show Isotropic material  
🗑
show Orthotropic material  
🗑
show Prismatic  
🗑
When a material has to support a load for a very long period of time, it may continue to deform until a sudden fracture occurs or its usefulness is impaired. This time dependent permanent deformation is known as _____.   show
🗑
When a material is subjected to repeated cycles of stress or strain, it causes its structure to break down, ultimately leading to fracture. This behavior is called _______.   show
🗑
lateral deflection that occurs when long slender members are subjected to an axial compressive force   show
🗑
A slight increase in stress above the elastic limit will result in a breakdown of the material and causes it to deform permanently. This behavior is called ________ and the deformation that occurs is called ______ __________.   show
🗑
show Strain Hardening  
🗑
show Necking  
🗑
It is the space between two adjacent floors   show
🗑
rigid horizontal planes used to transfer lateral forces to vertical resisting elements   show
🗑
wall designed to resist lateral forces acting in its own plane, typically wind and seismic loads   show
🗑
show Shear wall  
🗑
is the point where the object “suffers” no torque by the effect of the gravitational force acted upon it   show
🗑
center of resistance of a floor or diaphragm against lateral forces   show
🗑
It is the point through which the resultant of the resistance to the applied lateral force acts.   show
🗑
point through which the resultant of the masses of a system acts   show
🗑
show Center of mass  
🗑
The point through which the resultant of the restoring forces of a system acts   show
🗑
show Eccentricity  
🗑
show Design seismic base shear  
🗑
is the lateral displacement of one level relative to the level above or below   show
🗑
is the lateral displacement of the story relative to the base   show
🗑
show Out-of-plane offsets  
🗑
occurs when the structure’s center of mass does not coincide with its center of rigidity   show
🗑
show Resonance  
🗑
show Natural period  
🗑
rate at which natural vibration is absorbed   show
🗑
The effect of internal friction, imperfect elasticity of material, slipping, sliding, etc in reducing the amplitude of vibration   show
🗑
The geographical point on the surface of earth vertically above the focus of the earthquake   show
🗑
show Focus  
🗑
the focus is also called the   show
🗑
show Ductility  
🗑
show Liquefaction  
🗑
condition when soil tends to behave like a fluid mass   show
🗑
a measure of the strength of shaking during the earthquake   show
🗑
show Magnitude  
🗑
show Seismographs  
🗑
show Soft Storey  
🗑
show Weak Storey  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
