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.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Forces that don't change






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






3. Combine Horisantal and Vertical members






4. Opposing force sliding past each other






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






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






7. A twisting force






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






9. A force that pushes togeather






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






11. Forces that change






12. Forces that act upon a structure






13. (1) Compression (2) Tension






14. 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






15. State of balance where opposing forces are equal






16. Thicker than can hold more






17. Individual interconnected parts of structure






18. Members start to bend due to increased load






19. Shorter is stronger






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






21. A force that pulls apart
