In a Nutshell
Activity 1: Based from the definition of the most essential terms in the study of curriculum
and the learning exercises that you have done, please feel free to write your arguments or
lessons learned below. I have indicated my arguments or lessons learned.
1. Steel is widely used today for the construction of high-rise buildings
2. Steel is weak under fatigue and high temperature.
Your Turn
3. Steel behaves closer to design assumptions than most materials because it follows Hooke’s
law up to fairly high stresses.
4. The first metal used by human beings was probably some type of copper alloy such as bronze
and it is the most important metal development throughout the history and the use of iron and
its famous alloy called steel.

5. As the length and slenderness of a compression member is increased, its danger of buckling
increases.

6. Structural steel can be economically rolled into a wide variety of shapes and sizes without
appreciably changing its physical properties.
7. The only differences between bars and plates are their sizes and production procedures. Flat pieces
have been called bars if they are 8 in or less in width. They are plates if wider than 8 in.
9. Carbon steels, these steels have as their principal strengthening agents carefully controlled quantities
of carbon and manganese.
10. The structural designer arranges and proportions structures and their parts so that they will
satisfactorily support the loads to which they may feasibly be subjected.
