Tension and Compression
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.
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)
This will cause the beam to bend. You need to see the beam like a stack of spaghetti. Extended spagghettis are in tension Shortened spaghettis are in compression (equals signs represent the beam, dots represent air) If it bends like this, it is tension on top, compression below ........=============....... ..===............................===.. =.........................................= If it bends like this, it is compression on top, tension bottom =.........................................= ..===............................===.. ........=============........
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.
the 3 kinds of stress are compression,tension, and shearing
There are three types of stress tension, compression, and shearing they all cause earthquakes.
stress
It is compression, tension, and shearing
The three main types of stress in a rock are shearing, tension, and compression.
The three types of stress in plates are tensile stress (stretching), compressive stress (compressing), and shear stress (sliding or tearing). These stresses can cause deformation or failure in the material if they exceed its strength.
