Structural Analysis Final Exam
1. What is the difference between a frame and beam: Frame members often
carry Axial(P) force
2. In frames, the beam-to-column connectiona re either or : -
Pinned or Moment-resisting
3. Frame with only connections will collapse: Pinned
4. Frames with pinned connections and will not collapse: Lateral
sup- port
5. Frame with connections will not collapse: Fixed
6. What is a deflected shape?: is an Estimate of how the frame will move
under the applied load
7. Why are we intrested in the deflected shpe?: Check our
analysis(bending moment diagram_
Determine where tension/compression occur

Obtain a picture of how the structure will deflect, so that we can modify the structureif necessary

  1. Structure musst also be designed to resist LATERAL LOADS. These loadsact horizontally inclue:: Soil earthquak eWind
  2. What are examples of Dead loads?: Floors, walls, and finishes, and includesall other permanent attadhments to structures like pipes, electrial conduits, air conditioning, heating ducts, and all items intended to remain in place throughout the life of the strucutre.
  3. What are examples of Live loads?: Occupants/peopleSnow/rain Furnishings
  4. What are the Three Basic Types of Later Load Resisting Systems: BracedFrame
  1. Whow is wind resisted by a structure?: Wind load strike cladding--- Claddingtransfers Load to SECONDARY members---Secondary member transfer load to PRIMARY LLRS----LLRS carries accumulated wind loads to foundation..
  2. In general, when wind strikes a building, it causes either toward the outer surface of the building, or away from the outer surface: Pres-sure or Suction
  3. Wind on Cladding the wind effects:: Pressure on the north wallSuction on the South wall Out of plane bending in the North & South walls
  4. Wind on roof the wind effects: Distributed load along the roof diaphragmDiaphragm acts like a Horizontal beam the resists the distributed load East & West shear walls provide Reactions to the roof diaphragm.
  5. Wind on Shear Walls the Wind effets:: Concentrated Load at top of shear

wallEast & west shear walls act like VERTICAL CANTILEVERS to resist the wind loadfoundation provides REACTIONS to shear walls

  1. Wind on Cladding Wind transferred to:: North & South WALLSFOUNDATION ROOF diaphragm
  2. Wind on roof Wind transferred to: ROOF diaphragmEast & West SHEAR WALLS
  3. Wind on Shear walls wind tranffred to: SHEAR WALLS FOUNDATIONS
  4. Seismic motion consists of and ground motion: VER-TICAL and HORIZONTAL
  5. Horizontal acceleration is susually greater in : magnitude
  6. The National Building COD allows two methods of analysis: Static andDynamic Analysis
  7. For structures subjected to EARTHQUAKE or SEISMIC forces, the same

31. One of the principal goaqls of this course is to help students develop a understanding of structural behaviour.: Conceptual

  1. Conceptual understaning is : the development of your structural intuition.
  2. How will conceptual understainding help me?: Reduce errorsIncrease creativity Develop apprecation for role of structural Engineer
