3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What type of forces do cables primarily carry?
Think about how cables are used in construction.
True or False: Trusses can only carry tensile forces.
Remember, trusses can manage both types of forces.
What is the function of cables in structural applications?
Think of how cables are used in bridges.
True or False: Joints in trusses are assumed to be frictionless.
Recall the definition of a hinge.
Given a truss with a compressive axial load applied inappropriately, analyze how this affects the overall stability using practical examples from construction.
Consider examples like poorly designed bridge supports.
Compare the long-term performance of a Pratt truss versus a Howe truss in a heavy-load environment.
Evaluate the properties of the materials used over time.
