INSTRUCTION: Answer the following questions. All answers should be written in CAPITAL
LETTERS. GOOD LUCK!

MOISTURE CONTENT____1. Timber swells if this increases.

BENDING MOMENTS______2. Are rotational forces within the beam that cause bending?

RIGHT ANGLES ______3. Vertical panels must be grouped in pairs at _____________ to each
other so that they provide mutual support.

CELLULAR INTERNAL STRUCTURE_4. The lightness in weight of timber is due to its __________________
which produces element cross-sections which are permanently ‘improved’.

CEMENT AND AGGREGATES _5. Concrete is made by mixing together dry _ _ _ and _ ___
in suitable proportions and then adding water.

FORMWORK __________6. Structures are cast in these can be re-used repeatedly in the
same building.

BOLTS ____________7. Very long laminated timber elements are possible because
the constituent boards are jointed end-to-end by these means.

MOISTURE MOVEMENT___8. Arises because the precise dimensions of any piece of timber
are dependent on its moisture content.

LAID _________________9. Masonry is a composite material in which individual stones,

bricks or blocks are _ _ ______ in mortar to form columns, walls,
arches or vaults.

DEFLECTION ___________10. In engineering, it is the degree to which a structural element

is displaced under a load.

RESISTANCE OF COMPRESSION_11. This phenomenon for which the elements' resistance of

compression requires a much larger size of cross-section than that of tension,
a critical factor in determining the size.

INTERNAL/EXTERNAL____12. The purpose of structural analysis is to determine the

magnitudes of all of the __ _ and _ ________ forces which
occur on and in a structure when the most unfavourable load conditions
occur.

SIZE __________________13. The efficiency with which internal forces can be resisted
depends on the __________ of the cross-section.

MAGNITUDE/DIRECTION_14. Free-body diagrams are used to show the relative _ _ __

and ___________ of all forces acting upon an object in a given
situation.

VERTICAL ____________15. Loadbearing wall structures are those in which the external
walls and internal partitions serve as ___________ structural
elements.

SELF-BRACING ________16. Arrangements which do not require bracing elements

because stability is provided by rigid joints.
