A Structural Engineer is using Glulam engineered timber as the main structural material for the walls and roof.

Its superior tensile and compressive strength makes it perfect for this structure. Define this type of force.

Tension

• A pushing force – pushes/squeezes/crushes elements together, tries to make them shorter

• A bending force – tries to cause the material to bend (usually downward), stretches and squashes elements at the same time

• A pulling force – pulls elements apart/stretches, tries to make them longer

• A twisting force, tries to cause the material to shear in opposite directions

Workability is a term used to describe concrete along with mortar.

However what does this mean?

select two appropriate answers

• How well the material can be transported

• How well the material can be placed

• How well the material can be compacted

• How well the material can be mixed
