_____________________ _1. Allows the structure to act as a unified system while enabling it
to maintain its cross-sectional form when loads are applied.

COMPRESSION 2. What is the principal internal force of masonry?

CROSS-SECTION 3. The size of the _ ___________________ must allow the determined

internal forces in the analysis to be carried without overloading the structural
material and without the occurrence of excessive deflection.

SHEAR FORCE 4. This occurs when two parallel forces act out of alignment with
each other.

STRENGTH 5. Structural calculations allow the _ _ _and __ ___________ of

RIGIDITY 6. structures to be controlled precisely.

BRACED FRAMES 7. A common structural element used to counteract horizontal loads and
stabilize the structure.

YES 8. Rigid joints are problematic structurally because they can

render the structure statically indeterminate.

DEFLECTION 9. Diagonal bracings sag in response to their ________________ and it is
