What are the forces of an arch bridge?
Tension and Compression
What was of materials for a skyscraper?
The materials used to build skyscrapers are strong materials that can withstand a great tension and compression. Early days the skyscrapers are usually made by iron frame but now it uses lighter and stronger metal, steels.
What can you reinforce concrete with?
There are different forces on a materials such as Compression and Tension. Compression is pushing a material together. Tension is pulling a material apart. Concrete has good strength in Compression, but is weak in Tension. The steel reinforcement improves the resistance to tension of the concrete.
What kind of stresses are produced in a beam during transverse vibration?
If you load it normal to the beam axis you get bending stresses ( tension and compression) and shear stresses. If you load it along the axis you get axial stress ( tension or compression)
What is the ability of string to withstand the tension force called as?
tensile strength
What forces act on the Tower Bridge of London?
First of all, the force of compression impacts the bridge. Also, the force of tension inmpacts the bridge because the more cars there are or any weight the bridge stretches which is tension. tthe force of gravity weighs the bridge down and that is why the bridge has to withstand that. Wind can affect the tower bridge because if there is a huriccane the bridge has to be able to stand without any damage.
How do compression and tension create motion?
tension streches it compression squeezes it
The ability ofstring to withstand the tension force is called?
The ability of string to withstand the tension force is called tensile strength.
Why was the crack an effect of tension and not compression stress?
A crack is caused by tension not compression because tension pulls matter apart while compression pushes matter together
Compare the way that compression affects the crust to the way that tension affects the crust?
compression and tension are opposite. compression pushes the crust together but tension pulls it apart
List the three types of stress that occur in earth's crust?
the 3 kinds of stress are compression,tension, and shearing
What are two types of elastic forces?
compression and tension Compression is a squeezing force, while tension is a pulling force.
What are the advantages of reinforced cement concrete?
RCC is able to withstand heavy loads - compression from the concrete, tension from the rebar - , it is relatively cheap and easy to fashion into custom shapes even on site.
What is the neeed of extensometer?
it is used to measure the extension or compression in the object after it is subjected to tension or compression test it is used to measure the extension or compression in the object after it is subjected to tension or compression test
What are the five forces that act upon bridges?
1.compression 2.tension 3.torsion 4.shear 5.gravity
What is the difference between tension and compression structures?
compression zone is an positive zone,tension zone is an negative zone..
Is bone weaker under compression or tension forces?
Tension
