Show hintHide hint
Consider what remains constant in a structure.
3Question 3.
What is a matrix?
- A type of load
- An array of numbers

Remember how data can be visually organized.
4Question 4.
True or False: Dead loads are variable and change with time.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what static versus dynamic means.
Question 5.
A cantilever beam is subjected to a dead load of 1000 N and a live load of 500 N at the free end. Construct a matrix to represent these loads and compute the reactions at the support.
Show hintHide hint
Think about static equilibrium conditions.
Question 6.
Design a matrix to represent a structure subjected to different types of loads: dead, live, wind, and earthquake. Analyze the interrelation of these loads using matrix methods.
