Copy and complete the table on forces shown below Force (N) =500kN Take moment at R1 CM=ACM F x 3=R2 x 10 500kN x 3m=R2 x 10m 1500kNm=10 x R2 R2=1500/10 kNm =150 kNm R1=500-150 kNm =350 kNm A force of 500kN is acting on a beam that rests on two edges at R1 and R2. Calculate its reactions at R1 and R2. 3m 10m R1 R2 F Tower crane lifting a load Name the type of structure found in the tower crane. Framework structure Explain the benefits of the triangular forms used. It is the strongest shape in structure design Does not distort easily It provides strength and rigidity The load causes a turning moment on the tower crane. Explain the term “Moment”. It is the turning effect produced by a force on the tower about a pivot (fulcrum) What is elasticity? The elasticity of a material is its ability to return to its original shape after being deformed. When a material does not return to its original shape after being deformed, it is said to be ‘plastic’. What is stress? Stress is a measure of the force acting on a unit of a material Stress = force / Area Unit of measure is kN/m? Stress (?) = Force/ Area What is strain? Strain is the amount of extension per unit length in a material that has been stretched. Strain = extension / Original Length. Draw a development of a drink packet made from a single sheet of material How is it made? The development is one that is made from a single folded sheet of material held together either using tabs and slots, or with glue Structures often need reinforcement Explain the need for reinforcement. To provide rigidity and stability for framework such as truss (use to support roofs and bridges) Triangles do not distort in shape under loads Why are triangles considered one of the strongest in structural design? Framework that includes triangles provide strength and rigidity (Unstable structure) (Rigid and Strong) What are the methods to make a structure rigid ?
