INTRODUCTION TO STEEL DESIGN QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED
VERIFIED ANSWERS (100% CORRECT ANSWERS) /ALREADY
GRADED
STEEL DESIGN - ANSWER-In most cases, the functional design, including the
establishment of the number of stories and the floor plans, will have been done by an
architect, and the structural engineer must work within the constraints imposed by this
design.
Ideally, the engineer and architect will collaborate throughout the design process to
complete the project in an efficient manner.
an architect
structural engineer - ANSWER-In most cases, the functional design, including the
establishment of the number of stories and the floor plans, will have been done by
_____________, and the ____________________ must work within the constraints imposed
by this design.
STRUCTURAL
DESIGN - ANSWER-from concept or modelling to construction, the architects and
engineers collaborate.
the architect decides how the building should look; the engineer must make sure it
doesn't fall down
TRUE - ANSWER-TRUE OR FALSE
the architect decides how the building should look; the engineer must make sure it
doesn't fall down
FALSE - ANSWER-TRUE OR FALSE, The engineer must select and evaluate the overall
structural system in order to produce an efficient and economical design but CAN DO
SO without a thorough understanding of the design of the components of the structure
, TRUSSES
FRAMES
BEAMS
COLUMNS
FOOTINGS - ANSWER-BUILDING BLOCKS OF A STRUCTURE
truss - ANSWER-In a usual assumption of a ____________analysis
- pinned connections and loads applied only at the joints - each component of the truss
will be a two-force member, subject to either axial compression or tension.
pinned connections and loads
two-force member
axial compression or tension - ANSWER-In a usual assumption of a TRUSS analysis
- _______________ applied only at the joints - each component of the truss will be a
______________, subject to either _________________.
RIGID FRAME - ANSWER-The members of this frame are rigidly
connected by welding and can be assumed to form a continuous structure.
The design and analysis of each frame in the system begins with the idealization of the
frame as a two-dimensional structure, as shown in the next figure.
continuous structure - ANSWER-The members of A RIGID FRAME are rigidly
connected by welding and can be assumed to form a _________________
hinges (pins) - ANSWER-for rigid frames, the supports are represented as ______, not as
fixed supports
rigid frame - ANSWER-Note that the supports are represented
