Chapter 11 Quiz: Structural Strength And Stability

The correct answer lists the meanings of the words in the correct order. It starts with "a curved structure used to support a load, or make an opening in a bigger" which refers to the definition of a cantilever. Next, it mentions "steel rod used to reinforce concrete" which describes the meaning of rebar. Then, it states "a network of beams that form triangles" which is the definition of a truss. After that, it mentions "a beam supported at only one end" which refers to an arch. Finally, it states "looks like the top part of a sphere" which describes a dome, and "folding a material repeatedly to provide additional strength" which refers to corrugation.

The correct answer is Bad design, Faulty Construction, Foundation Failure, Extraordinary Loads. This answer states the four common ways that structure failure usually happens. Bad design refers to a design that does not meet the necessary structural requirements. Faulty construction refers to errors or mistakes made during the construction process. Foundation failure refers to issues with the foundation of the structure, such as settling or shifting. Extraordinary loads refer to excessive or unexpected forces placed on the structure, such as heavy snow or wind loads.
