Question

The engineering world further defines loads based on the manner in which the load is delivered, concentrated, distributed, static, suspended, or impact. Loads are then imposed on building materials. this imposition causes stress and strain on the material called ___________.

a) Structural impact
b) Material transformation
c) Load imposition
d) Material deformation

Answer 1

The stress and strain caused by the imposition of loads on building materials is referred to as material deformation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The stress and strain caused by the imposition of loads on building materials is referred to as material deformation.

When external forces are applied to an object, it may undergo a change in its shape or size, resulting in deformation. This deformation can be in the form of stretching, compressing, twisting, or shearing of the material. The stress caused by the applied forces leads to the deformation, and the extent of deformation is described as strain.
