2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define what a column shear is.
Think about the vertical forces acting on a vertical structure.
What is the formula for calculating top column moments?
Consider what happens when a force is applied at a distance.
What is a column shear?
Focus on the resistance to lateral forces.
True or False: Girders do not affect column shears.
Think about load distribution.
You have a structure with three columns carrying lateral loads of 30 kN. If the height of each column is 12 ft, calculate the moments at the top and bottom of each column.
Use V × H for each column and ensure total loads equal across.
Evaluate the impacts on structural stability if one column experiences a sudden increase in shear force. How would you redesign?
Consider load transfer and additional supports if necessary.
