Shear panels or shear walls are sometimes used in steel-framed buildings. Which component of wood light frame construction serves the same function as a shear panel/wall?
wall sheathing
Which of the following is primarily responsible for preparing structural steel shop drawings, which show details of connections, exact spacing of bolt holes, anchor bolt sizes and locations, and so on, and for the site steel components that are ready to be assembled without further processing?
steel fabricator
on a drawing (blueprint), a building element is referred to as "W10 x 33." This element could be a :
beam
structural steel:
in modern mini-mills is largely made from scrap steel
welded connections :
- are usually weaker than bolted connections
- can be performed by unskilled workers
- are not sensitive to weather conditions
- only require gas, not electricity
NONE OF THE ABOVE
compared to mild steel, cast iron has
low tensile strength
high compressive strength
in a traditional production of steel, the three raw materials that are needed in large quantities are
iron ore, coal and limestone
the percentage of carbon content in mild steel is
less than 0.3%
a member on a steel drawing is identified as W10 x 12. This member is
a wide-flange beam
The advantage of using light gauge steel framing members in lieu of wood framing members include all of the following except:
they provide better thermal insulation than do wood members of the same size
The steel used for light gauge steel framing differs from the steel discussed in Chapter 11 ("Steel Frame Construction") in that light gauge steel is:cold-rolledIn the light gauge designation "250U050-54"U designates this as a channelExterior sheathing for noncombustible light gauge steel walls is typically:gypsum boardWrought iron- contains little or no carbon - contains even less carbon than most steel alloysWhich of the following is not a fastening method of steel members?stampingT/F Stainless steel is usually made by adding chromium and nickel to the alloy.TrueT/F The steel used for light gauge steel framing is typically hot rolled. (cold rolled is the answer)FalseT/F In iron alloys, an increase in carbon content generally corresponds to decrease in hardness and brittleness. (ANSWER: increase in carbon content increases in hardness and brittleness)FalseT/F In mini-mills, steel scrap is converted directly to new steel, bypassing the need to make iron from ore.TrueT/F Thermal treatments applied after steel shapes are formed usually increase their strength and yield strength.True
