What are the bending moment?

Positive and Negative are just directions. The main concern is whether there exist a bending moment or not. Then according to sign convention we classify bending moment as positive or negative. Elaborating on this point, If clockwise bending moments are taken as negative, then a negative bending moment within an element will cause "sagging", and a positive moment will cause "hogging" Sagging and hogging moments are important to differentiate. As hogging causes tension in the upper part of the beam x-section whereas sagging causes tension in the lower part of the x-section. This concept is of great importance in designing reinforced concrete members as we have to provide steel rebar in the zone of beam having tensile stress as concrete is weak in tension.


Why are pin joints used in truss analysis?

In a truss analysis, only the axial loading on each member is of interest. Since the pinned joint cannot transmit a bending moment, no bending stress is transmitted to the individual members, and thus only axial (tension or compression) loading occurs in the truss members.


Why is the reinforcement bars place at the bottom of the simple supported beam?

When a simply supported beam is subject to bending; the top of the beam will be subject to compression, and the bottom of the beam will be subject to tension (think about the bottom of the beam stretching as it bends i.e. tension). Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension, so steel reinforcement is added to allow it to resist this tension and carry bending sufficiently. Note: bars are generally added to the compression side too but that's for another day.


What are some examples of internal forces?

tension compression shearing bending


Is bending a push or a pull?

It is neither; a push is compression and a pull tension; in bending one surface stretches in tension and the other surface is in compression, and the n middle does nothing. There are four things you can do to an object; push or pull, bend, shear, and twist


What has the author M D Strickler written?

M. D. Strickler has written: 'Duration of load characteristics of structural members in bending and tension' -- subject(s): Building materials, Testing, Lumber


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 are the 4 internal forces that act on a structures?

compression&torsion&tension&bending


Why compression members are more critical than tension members?

Compression members (vertical elements in structures) Slight imperfections in tension members and beams.


What are the types of engineering stress?

As far as I am aware: Tension, Compression, Shear, Bending, Bearing.


What are the 5 major stresses of aircraft?

Tension, Compression, Torsion/Tensile, Shear & Bending


Why are flasks not shaped as cubes or cuboids?

Gas bottles are cylindrical or spherical because circular hoops can withstand internal pressure by pure tension in the tank material instead of bending. Materials can take more force in tension than in bending.
