STEEL AND TIMBER DESIGN

REVIEW GAME
1. THE LOAD AT WHICH A COMPRESSION MEMBER BECOMES UNSTABLE IS
(BLANK)(BLANK) - BUCKLING LOAD

2. THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF COMPRESSION MEMBER OCCURRING IN

BUILDINGS AND BRIDGES - COLUMN

3. WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THE MODULUS OF ELASTICITY OF STEEL IN KSI?

- 29,000 KSI, FOR METRIC - 200,000

4. IT IS DEFINED AS THE RATIO OF THE PLASTIC MOMENT TO THE YIELD

STRESS -PLASTIC MODULUS / PLASTIC SECTION MODULUS = Z
(notation)

5. TRUE OR FALSE: LONG COLUMNS FAILS ELASTICALLY - TRUE (found in

LECTURE 7)

6. MULTIPLE CHOICE: THE THEORETICAL K - VALUE FOR COLUMNS WITH

BOTH ENDS FIXED. - D. 1.00

7. A (BLANK) SECTION, ONLY A PORTION OF THE CROSS-SECTION

REACHES ITS YIELD STRENGTH BEFORE LOCAL BUCKLING OCCURS -
NON-COMPACT (PORTION ONLY)

8. THESE ARE THE FLEXURAL MEMBERS SUPPORTING A WALL OVER A

WINDOW OR DOOR OPENING - LINTEL / LINTEL BEAMS

9. IT IS THE RATIO OF THE PLASTIC MOMENT TO THE YIELD MOMENT -

SHAPE FACTOR
 10. THE VALUE OF THE SHAPE FACTOR OF A STANDARD ROLLED BEAM
SECTION VARIES FROM 1.10 TO (BLANK) - 1.2 (1.5 FOR RECTANGULAR)

11. THE FORMULA OF COMPUTING THE MAXIMUM MOMENT AT A SIMPLY

SUPPORTED BEAM WITH LENGTH L, CARRYING A UNIFORM
DISTRIBUTED LOAD, W. - Mmax = wL^2 / 8

COMPUTATIONS IN REVIEW GAME

12. COMPUTE THE ALLOWABLE BENDING STRESS OF ANY MEMBER WITH Fy

= 345 MPa. EXPRESS YOUR ANSWER IN MPa.

13. FOR THE DOUBLE ANGER BAR SHOWN, DETERMINE WHETHER THE
FLANGE IS COMPACT, NON-COMPACT, OR SLENDER

LECTURE 4: COMPRESSION MEMBERS

1. Compression members are usually associated with COLUMNS.
2. Common notations: F = stress, P = load
3.
