if you use the word relative, it could range from a plank of wood to some sheet metal. Today we have more technology to add metals to metals by alloying. for example we need low density meterial with high strength. consider the Al metal. it is of low density, to add strength to it we add some other alloying elements like Ni,Cr etc... so as per our requrements we prepare our alloys of low density realeative to high strength.
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.
The point is to make economic structures. In the middle ages buildings were made with very thick walls just to be safe - but it was not economic. With proper structural analysis you can make buildings that stay up but are relatively cheap to make.
what age? "robot" is a VERY generic term. they can range from Lego mindstorms (great for students around age 8) to robotic arms (great for students around age 19). likely you're looking for something like this: http://www.parallax.com/tabid/411/Default.aspx
First, there is not enough information to properly answer this question. Second, are you needing information on a column or a beam or both? A column is vertical and beam is horizontal. What is the material being used? Wood deflects and has elastic properties that diminish as the wood dries out and ages. Steel has great tensile strength but little elasticity, and fails rapidly under heat. Concrete is great in compression but has little or no tensile strength or elasticity. What are the signs of failure? Are they fractures, stretching, bowing, cracking, shrinking, etc. As you can see there is a lot more to failure than did the roof fall in. if you can answer these questions maybe I can be of assistance.

There are two main loading conditions that concrete under goes. These are Compression and Tension. Concrete is very strong in compression and is very weak in Tension (pulling apart). Concrete has so little strength to resist tension it is assumed to have no strength in tension. When civil engineers design concrete structures they can determine where the tension and compression will be located. Steel is added to give the concrete tensile strength. For Example a concrete beam when loaded from the top will experience compression on top section of the beam. The top portion of the beam will push inwards creating compression while the bottom section will pull apart creating tension. (Imagine a smile shape). :) Therefore reinforcement will be needed in the tension area (bottom).
because of its density,good conductivity,great tensile strength
Iron/steel is used in building because of its great strength and, the fact that it is relatively abundant, thus inexpensive.
Density Advance Shampoo from L'oreal is a great line to help encourage strength, body and shine. It's price is comparable with other L'oreal lines on the market.
they werent found, they were bought and paid for. It wasnt a Scavenger hunt in search for materials to build a relatively large wall, it was a process that took time.
The strength of the skyscraper comes from the design and engineering concepts and the materials used in their construction. Their great mass keeps them "pressed to the earth" where they were built. Simple. And the strength of the materials in their frame holds them up while permitting them to flex just enough to resist failing and falling under the loads of wind and ground movement.
The net density of the earth is much higher than the density of the materials that make up the crust and other portions of the planet that we can reach. There for the parts we cannot yet reach must have a much greater density, or the net density would not be as great as it is.
Subodh was a man of great strength. To change the word 'strength' into an adjective in this sentence you could say 'Subodh was a man of great determination'.
He has great strength. you need alot of strength to lift that. need i go on?
Patience is your great strength.
a. The state of matter distinguished from the solid and liquid states by relatively low density and viscosity, relatively great expansion and contraction with changes in pressure and temperature, the ability to diffuse readily, and the spontaneous tendency to become distributed uniformly throughout any container.b. A substance in the gaseous state.
ask you great great great great NANA
The Great Salt Lake has a high concentration of salt in the water. Considering that about 70% of a human body is water (with a very low relative concentration of salt) a human has a relatively low density and that makes a person float while swimming
