Compression tension and shearing are three types of?
stress
What objects under tension?
tension is the opposite of compression, so it would be anything pulling in an object; cables on a bridge, a zipline, even when you reach out to grab something! there is so many things that are under tension or compression that are all around us.
What are the 4 internal forces that act on a structures?
compression&torsion&tension&bending
Which metals are strong in tension?
Steel and Titanium
Compression can result in if the force is strong enough to break the crust?
faulting
How do compression and tension create motion?
tension streches it compression squeezes it
Should the tension members or the compression members be stronger for a paper bridge that's being built by using only Elmer's white glue and computer papers?
The tension and compression members should be equally strong.
What is Reinforced cement concrete-RCC?
Concrete is very strong in compression but weak in tension. RCC is concrete with reinforcing steel bars in it. Steel is a really good material in tension. Steel carries the tensile load and thus RCC is strong in tension too. However, designers still try to ensure concrete is in compression wherever possible.
Why concrete is strong in compression and weak in tension?
Concrete is strong in compression, as the aggregate efficiently carries the compression load. However, it is weak in tension as the cement holding the aggregate in place can crack, allowing the structure to fail. Reinforced concrete solves these problems by adding metal reinforcing bars, glass fiber, or plastic fiber to carry tensile loads
Why are Arch bridges made of stone?
It's all about compression and tension. Compression is the force pushing in on an object. If you sit in a chair your weight is a compressive force on the chair. Tension is the force pulling on an object. If you hang from a rope your weight puts the rope in tension. Stone is very strong under compression but can break easily under tension. An arch bridge only has compression forces within it so stone is a good material for an arch bridge.
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.
Why are reinforcements needed for concrete?
Concrete (like stone) is very strong in compression but breaks almost instantly in tension. It is also weak in response to side forces and twisting forces. Steel bars are very strong in tension but crumple and fold instantly in compression. By putting steel reinforcement bars in concrete and pretensioning the bars before the concrete hardens creates a composite material that is strong in both compression and tension (with each material supporting the other) and also improves the response to side forces and twisting forces.
What are the five forces that act upon bridges?
1.compression 2.tension 3.torsion 4.shear 5.gravity
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
