Difference between Beam (structure) and Truss

Beam (structure) vs. Truss

A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally to the beam's axis. In engineering, a truss is a structure that "consists of two-force members only, where the members are organized so that the assemblage as a whole behaves as a single object".

Similarities between Beam (structure) and Truss

Beam (structure) and Truss have 20 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bending, Bending moment, Building code, Compression (physics), Direct stiffness method, Flexibility method, Force, Framing (construction), Girder, Joist, Moment (physics), Prestressed concrete, Shear stress, Statically indeterminate, Stiffness, Stress (mechanics), Structural analysis, Structural load, Tension (physics), Ultimate tensile strength.

Bending

In applied mechanics, bending (also known as flexure) characterizes the behavior of a slender structural element subjected to an external load applied perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the element.

Bending moment

A bending moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element causing the element to bend.

Building code

A building code (also building control or building regulations) is a set of rules that specify the standards for constructed objects such as buildings and nonbuilding structures.

Compression (physics)

In mechanics, compression is the application of balanced inward ("pushing") forces to different points on a material or structure, that is, forces with no net sum or torque directed so as to reduce its size in one or more directions.

Direct stiffness method

As one of the methods of structural analysis, the direct stiffness method, also known as the matrix stiffness method, is particularly suited for computer-automated analysis of complex structures including the statically indeterminate type.

Flexibility method

In structural engineering, the flexibility method, also called the method of consistent deformations, is the traditional method for computing member forces and displacements in structural systems.

Force

In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object.

Framing (construction)

Framing, in construction, is the fitting together of pieces to give a structure support and shape.

Girder

A girder is a support beam used in construction.

Joist

A joist is a horizontal structural member used in framing to span an open space, often between beams that subsequently transfer loads to vertical members.

Moment (physics)

In physics, a moment is an expression involving the product of a distance and a physical quantity, and in this way it accounts for how the physical quantity is located or arranged.

Prestressed concrete

Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction which is "pre-stressed" by being placed under compression prior to supporting any loads beyond its own dead weight.

Shear stress

A shear stress, often denoted by (Greek: tau), is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section.

Statically indeterminate

In statics, a structure is statically indeterminate (or hyperstatic) when the static equilibrium equations are insufficient for determining the internal forces and reactions on that structure.

Stiffness

Stiffness is the rigidity of an object — the extent to which it resists deformation in response to an applied force.

Stress (mechanics)

In continuum mechanics, stress is a physical quantity that expresses the internal forces that neighboring particles of a continuous material exert on each other, while strain is the measure of the deformation of the material.

Structural analysis

Structural analysis is the determination of the effects of loads on physical structures and their components.

Structural load

Structural loads or actions are forces, deformations, or accelerations applied to a structure or its components.

Tension (physics)

In physics, tension may be described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object; tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements.

Ultimate tensile strength

Ultimate tensile strength (UTS), often shortened to tensile strength (TS), ultimate strength, or Ftu within equations, is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to elongate, as opposed to compressive strength, which withstands loads tending to reduce size.
