3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the total weight of the Eiffel Tower?
Think about the overall construction and materials used.
What is a dead load?
Consider what part of the structure contributes to its weight.
What is the total weight of the Eiffel Tower?
Remember the facts about the structure's dimensions.
True or False: The dead load of the Eiffel Tower is uniformly distributed.
Think about how different parts of the tower support varying weights.
If an additional structure of 5,000 k is added to the top of the Eiffel Tower, what will be the new total weight? How would this change affect the design of the inclined supports?
Simply add the additional weight to the existing total weight.
Debate the potential impact of extreme winds on the Eiffel Tower's stability and how the inclined supports might mitigate these effects during a storm.
Consider why engineers design structures to withstand dynamic forces.
