1. wood is generally _____ when stressed in a direction stronger
parallel to the grain
2. following the sign convention used in the text, a can- negative
tilever with only gravity loads acting on it would have
a ________ bending moment
3. the moment of inertia of a cross section is_____ a measure of resistance to
bending and buckling
4. reinforced concrete is able to resist tensile forces due steel
to the use of ______
5. following the sign convention used in the text, a sim- a positive
ple beam with only gravity loads acting between the
supports would have ____ bending moment
6. a simple beam as described above would be in ______ tension
on the bottom surface
7. a simple beam as described above would be in _____ on compression
the top surface
8. concrete has a higher yield strength in compression true
than in tension. t or f.
9. one disadvantage of concrete is rigidity of the joints false. this is an advantage
between columns and beams in cast in place struc- compared to steel.
tures. t or f.
10. brittle failure of a building element would typically be false. brittle happens
preferred over ductile failure. t or f. quickly, ductile happens
over a long time period.
