Questions and Answers

What is the definition of Fatigue?

  • The point through which the resultant of the resistance to the applied lateral force acts.
  • The material's ability to absorb energy in the plastic range.
  • The breakdown of a structure due to repeated cycles of stress or strain. (correct)
  • When a material has to support a load for a long period of time.

    • What is the definition of Creep Soft Story?

  • A structure with lateral stiffness less than 70 percent of the stiffness of the story above. (correct)
  • A sudden drop in the shear strength of a soil.
  • A lateral displacement of one level relative to the level above or below.
  • When a material deforms permanently due to a slight increase in stress above the elastic limit.

    • What does Elasticity refer to?
