1. live Gravity load that can be removed from a structure such as people and
furniture.
2. dead Gravity load that cannot be removed from a structure such as walls and
floors.
3. wind Lateral load caused by _____ that varies in intensity with the building's
height, location, and shape.
4. earthquake Lateral load that impacts buildings at grade level and acts in a "shaking"
manner upon the superstructure.
5. thermal Type of load that results from changes in temperature causing structural
members to change shape and push and pull on other parts.
6. settlement Load causing a structure to sink into the ground and change shape.
7. dynamic Type of load that changes over time.
8. tensile Stress from two opposing forces pulling or stretching a member.
9. compression Stress from two opposing forces pushing or squeezing a member.
10. shear Stress that tends to move in layers in different directions
11. bending Stress that is a combination of tensile, compression, and shear and is least
efficient structurally.
12. bending, shear (more Beams are stressed in:
in bending)
13. compression Columns are stressed in:
14. tension Cables are stressed in:
1/3
