Essential Questions 6.3.1

1. If a beam bends in one direction, what is the effect on the column?
-If a bending is exerted on the joint portion. A tensile force and a compressive force are exerted on the connector, causing the column flange to be locally deformed, with the outside surface thereof becoming concave. Consequently, this structure cannot ensure sufficient rigidity for the joint portion.


2. If a column compresses too severely, how does that affect a beam?
-It could cause the beam to eventually break.


3. In the design of a column and beam system, what are the geometric and physical principles that must be considered for safety and sustainability of a structure?
-The stability and the strength of the type of the shape. The length, width, and height of the beams.

4. What information is provided in column schedules? What additional information is needed in designing a column and beam bracing system?
-The type of columns and the number of columns.
