Name : _____________________________________________

PART I. CONCEPTUALS

1. It measures the resistance of twisting the member. (________________)

2. Components of the sliding portion to one side of the exploratory section past the other (________________)
3. It measures the pulling/pushing action perpendicular to the section. (_________________)
4. It measures the resistance to bending the member. (_________________)
5. Tensile and compressive stresses are frequently as (__________________).
6. Shearing stress can also be called as (___________________).
7. The shear occurs over an area parallel to the applied load. (_________________)
8. Values of the load and elongation in a specified length is called (________________).
9. The stress beyond which the material will not return to its original shape. (________________)

10-11. It is the point at which there is an appreciable elongation or yielding of the material without any
corresponding increase of load. ______________ is also associated with this. (__________________)

12. What is the highest ordinate of the stress-strain curve. (___________________).

13. It is also known as the stress at failure (_____________________).

14. It is the maximum safe stress a material may carry. (_____________________).

15. What do you call the slope of the stress-strain curve? (________________________).

16. It was introduced by _______________ in 1807.

17. What does the letter G represent for the formula in deformation? (____________________).

18. It is a kind of load that acts over so small a distance that it can be assumed to act to a point.
(___________________).

19. It is a kind of load that acts over a considerable length of the beam. (__________________).

20. It is a reference point that a beam changes it shape from concave up to concave down.
(____________________).
PART II. PROBLEM SOLVING

Situation 1: Situation 2:

Situation 3:

Situation 4:

Situation 5:
A simply supported beam has a span of 12m. It carries a total uniformly load of 21.5 kN/m. To
prevent excessive deflection, a support is added at midspan.

a. Draw the load, shear, and moment diagram of this problem.

b. Calculate the resulting moment (kN*m) at the added support.
c. Calculate the resulting maximum positive moment (kN*m).
