Chapter 11 Quiz: Structural Strength And Stability
A quiz to test your ability and knowledge about structural strength and stability.
- 1.What are the meanings of these words in order? Arch, rebar, truss, cantilever, dome and corrugation.
- A.
A beam supported at only one end, folding a material repeatedly to provide additional strength, looks like the top part of a sphere, a network of beams that form triangles, a curved structure used to support a load, or make an opening in a bigger structure, and steel rod used to reinforce concrete.

- 2.Why are trusses so useful in structures? Give and example of a structure that uses trusses in it's design.
- 3.Compare between the arch and the dome. What is different about them? The same?
- 4.A student is leaning back in a chair. Eventually, the student falls over backward. Explain what happened using the terms “force,” “centre of gravity,” and “stability.”
