ReplyDeletethank you, and what is the difference between stress and structural stress?
ReplyDeleteYou can consider stress on the human body e.g. a body in pain from sitting too long. Or structural stress would be when a shelf bends from a lot of weight.
ReplyDeleteFor the purpose of this test, focus on knowing structural stress.
Thanks this helps a lot
Deletewould all this vocab like cantilever, box beam and ect.
ReplyDeletefound in notes, textbook or both?
One of your classroom activities was to fill in information about each of the structural components; this should be in your notes (it had 8 boxes for images as well).
DeleteOf course, the information is definitely available in the textbook on page 132.
