What is the main characteristic of a fixed support?
It can resist both rotation and translation
In what scenarios would a fixed support be most beneficial?
When only one support is available
What is a limitation of using fixed supports in structures?
They may not allow for any deflection or 'play'
Which type of support is represented by two forces (vertical and horizontal) and a moment?
Fixed support
What type of forces can pinned supports resist?
Vertical and horizontal forces
How are the components of horizontal and vertical forces determined in pinned supports?
Using equations of equilibrium
What is a framed structure?
A structure made stable by a skeleton that can stand rigidly by itself
Which material is mentioned as one of the best members for framing?
Steel
What is the primary purpose of a slab in a structure?
To provide structural support
What type of force does a column primarily resist?
Compression
What defines a beam's ability to withstand load?
Bending moment resistance
In a framed structure, what role does the skeleton play?
Allows the structure to stand rigidly independently
What is the main function of a load-bearing wall in a building?
To conduct external loads to the ground
Which of these components is NOT typically part of a foundation in residential construction?
Gable
What is the primary function of a fixed support in beams and structures?
To resist horizontal and vertical forces, and moments
Which term refers to a rigid transformation that changes the location but not the size, shape, or orientation of a preimage?
Translation
In structural engineering, what are connections, joints, or restraints commonly known as?
Fixed supports
What type of transformation involves rotating the location of a preimage around a fixed point without changing its size or shape?
Rotating
What is the primary purpose of determining support reactions in structural analysis?
To ensure the stability and safety of the structure
What is the theoretical relationship between external forces and support reactions in a structure?
The sum of external forces and support reactions should be zero
Which tool is used to determine the support reactions in structural analysis?
Free body diagram
What is the primary design code in the Philippines for the design and assessment of buildings and structures?
National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP)
What is the difference between gravity loads and lateral loads in structural design?
Gravity loads act vertically, and lateral loads act horizontally
Which chapter of the NSCP 2015 covers the design requirements for structural steel?
Chapter 5: Structural Steel
What are the main types of loads that shall be considered in the design of buildings, towers, and other vertical structures?
All of the above
What is the purpose of the load transfer mechanism in a framed structure?
To transmit loads from one element to another until they reach the ground
How are loads transferred from the slab to the supporting columns in a framed structure?
The load is transferred from the slab to the beams, and then from the beams to the columns
What is the purpose of the $203.2$ section in the NSCP 2015 code?
To specify the load combinations for the design of buildings, towers, and other vertical structures
What is the most critical effect that can occur when one or more of the contributing loads are not acting?
The structure will not be able to resist the remaining loads
What is the purpose of the load combinations specified in Sections 203.3, 203.4, and 203.5 of the NSCP 2015 code?
To ensure that the structure is designed to resist the most critical combination of loads
