The tension and compression members should be equally strong.
Stone slabs are stronger under compression.
Compression members (vertical elements in structures) Slight imperfections in tension members and beams.
Spaghetti is stronger under tension because spaghetti is brittle and therefore a smaller yield point. This is bad for compression because compression requires a large elastic value, which spaghetti doesn't have. Because tension hardly changes spaghetti it makes it stronger than compression.
Neither tensile strength nor compressive strength is inherently "stronger." Some materials are stronger in tension; other materials are stronger in compression. For example, rope is much stronger in tension than in compression, but concrete is much stronger in compression than in tension.
tension when it bends the ridges are pulling apart and thats tension
Marshmallows are strronger in comperesseion.
Brick will usually be stronger in compression, but metals will usually be stronger in tension.
Yes. This is because the strength of wood when compressed, decreases per length unit the longer the piece of wood is. However, wood holds the same strength in tension no matter the length. In the compression boomilever, the compression chord is longer than in the tension boomilever.
Compression or tension, the top chord will always experience compression and the bottom chord will always experience tension. The other members can experience either.
tension streches it compression squeezes it
The forces of tension and compression may work together by pushing the pieces of the bridge together. This can help ensure maximum even weight distribution, and ensure joint contact.
compression and tension are opposite. compression pushes the crust together but tension pulls it apart
