Answer:
Relaxation Question 2: A ____ _____ is developed when one body exerts a force on another body without direct physical contact between the bodies.
Answer:
Body Force
Question 3: The greatest stress a material is capable of developing without a
permanent elongation remaining upon complete unloading of the specimen.
Answer:
Elastic Limit
Question 4: Story drift divided by the story height.
Answer:
Story Drift Ratio
Question 5: Lateral displacement of the story relative to the base.
Answer:
Story Displacement
Question 6: Forces generated by a body in motion.
Answer:
Dynamic Question 7: The property of a material enabling it to endure high-impact loads or shock loads.
Answer:
Toughness
Question 8: It is point through which the applied seismic force acts.
Answer:
Center of Mass
Question 9: It is measured by a seismometer.
Answer:
Actual Displacement or Seismic/Earthquake Waves Question 10: The material has the same composition at every point but the elastic may not be the same in all directions. The composite material exhibits elastic properties in one direction different from that in the perpendicular direction.
Answer:
Orthotropic
Question 11: The ratio of the lateral to the longitudinal strain is constant.
Answer:
Poisson's Ratio
Question 12: It is the point through which the applied seismic force acts.
Answer:
Center of Mass
Question 13: A measure of the strength of shaking during earthquake.
Answer:
Intensity Question 14: Members that are slender and support loadings that are applied perpendicular to their longitudinal axis.
Answer:
Beams Question 15: Mass irregularity shall be considered to exist where the effective mass of any storey is more than 150 % of the effective mass of an adjacent storey. A roof that is lighter than the floor below need not be considered.
Answer:
Weight (Mass) Irregularity Question 16: Up to the ultimate stress, as the specimen elongates, its cross-sectional area will decrease.
Answer:
Necking Question 17: Discontinuities in a lateral force path, such as out-of-plane offsets of the vertical elements.
Answer:
Out of Plane Offsets Irregularity Question 18: The ratio of the ultimate or tensile strength to specific weight that is the weight per unit volume.
Answer:
Specific Strength Question 19: Vertical geometric irregularity shall be considered to exist where the horizontal dimension of the lateral-force-resisting system in any storey is more than 130 % of that in an adjacent storey. One-storey penthouses need not be considered.
Answer:
Vertical Geometric Irregularity
Question 20: The greatest stress a material is capable of developing without
deviation from straight line proportionality between strain and stress.
Answer:
Proportional Limit Question 21: A property of a material where if the specimen be unloaded, it will not return to its original length, rather it will retain a permanent elongation sometimes called a permanent set.
Answer:
Plasticity Question 22: A structural member that has the ratio of its unsupported height to its least lateral dimension of not less than 3 and is used primarily to support axial load.
Answer:
Column Question 23: Wall designed to resist lateral forces acting on its own plane, typically wind and seismic loads.
Answer:
Shear Wall Question 24: It is the term for the value beyond which the stress is no longer proportional to the strain.
Answer:
Proportional Limit Question 25: When a material has to support a load for a very long period of time, it may continue to deform until a sudden fracture occurs or its usefulness is impaired.
Answer:
Creep Question 26: It is the distance between the center of rigidity and center of mass.
Answer:
Eccentricity
