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






2. Shorter is stronger






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






4. Forces that act upon a structure






5. 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






6. State of balance where opposing forces are equal






7. Combine Horisantal and Vertical members






8. Forces that change






9. A force that pushes togeather






10. A twisting force






11. Forces that don't change






12. Thicker than can hold more






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






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






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






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






17. Opposing force sliding past each other






18. A force that pulls apart






19. Members start to bend due to increased load






20. Individual interconnected parts of structure






21. (1) Compression (2) Tension
