[ARC 113] UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE ____________________________ SEMESTER ONE 2004/05 ____________________________ ARCHITECTURAL TECHNOLOGY 1.1 Time allowed – 2 Hours Marks will be allocated as follows:?Part A - 40%Part B - 60%?Answer ALL questions in Part AAnswer THREE questions in Part B? Illustrate your answers with freehand, annotated sketches, where appropriate. [Turn Over Part A A1) What do you understand by the terms: i) Stress ii) Strain iii) Youngs’ Modulus A2) A simple supported beam is shown in Figure 2, the beam supports a Uniformly Distributed Load of 4.0 kN/m. What is the magnitude of the maximum bending moment ? and where does it occur? You may assume that the beam has no self-weight. A3) When designing a masonry wall, the following equation is used to determine the design stress on the wall. Explain the relevance of the terms on the right hand side of the equation. A4) The principle of equilibrium is used in structural analysis, what two conditions need to be satisfied if equilibrium is met within a structural system. A5) Describe and explain the process of ‘Hydration’ - when water is added to dry cement A6) The deflection of a timber beam is controlled by four parameters, what are these parameters? and comment on there significance. A7) When a material is loaded, its passes through a series of phases before failing, describe these phases. A8) If the maximum bending moment a timber beam experiences is 5 x106 Nmm and the beam’s size is 50mm wide and 100 mm deep, what is the maximum bending stress in the beam. B1 (a) Give five reasons why masonry wall construction is popular. (b) A single leaf brick wall, 2.5 metres high, 150 mm thick is required to support an imposed load of 10.0 kN/m. Assume that the brick load is 12.0 kN/m3. The wall is simple restrained at the top and bottom. By calculation demonstrate what Block Compressive Stress would support th
