Instructions:
  • Answer 21 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

1. Shorter is stronger






2. A structure made from more than 1 or more triangles






3. A force that pushes togeather






4. Pushing down in 1 spot at the middle of the bridge is more stressful to the structurethan if the same force is spread out. One heavy trucj in the middle of a bridge has more effect than several cars that are spread out but total the same weight






5. Forces that don't change






6. Members bend permeatly out of shape - Cracks may appear






7. 1) I 2) T 3) Channel 4) Box 5) Angle






8. Use materials with a good balance of weight and strength






9. Members start to bend due to increased load






10. A twisting force






11. State of balance where opposing forces are equal






12. Combine Horisantal and Vertical members






13. Opposing force sliding past each other






14. A force that pulls apart






15. (1) Compression (2) Tension






16. Lighter so that the supports hold less and there is less static load






17. The only figure that can not change shape without shortening or lengthing a side.






18. Thicker than can hold more






19. Individual interconnected parts of structure






20. Forces that change






21. Forces that act upon a structure
