live - ANSWER-Gravity load that can be removed from a structure such as people
and furniture.
dead - ANSWER-Gravity load that cannot be removed from a structure such as
walls and floors.
wind - ANSWER-Lateral loads caused by _____ vary in intensity with the
building's height, location, and shape.
earthquake - ANSWER-Lateral load that impacts buildings at grade level and acts
in a "shaking" manner upon the superstructure.
thermal - ANSWER-Type of load that results from changes in temperature causing
structural members to change shape and push and pull on other parts.
settlement - ANSWER-Load causing a structure to sink into the ground and change
shape.
dynamic - ANSWER-Type of load that changes over time.
tensile - ANSWER-Stress from two opposing forces pulling or stretching a
member.
compression - ANSWER-Stress from two opposing forces pushing or squeezing a
member.

membrane (tension and/or compression evenly distributed through the shell
thickness) - ANSWER-Shells are stressed in:
equilibrant - ANSWER-A single vector that is equal in magnitude but opposite in
sense to the resultant of all forces acting on a body.
resultant - ANSWER-A single vector that is an equal replacement of a group of
vectors that has the same external effect.
