| Bearing Load | (english) A compressive load supported by a member, usually a tube or collar, along a line where contact is made with a pin, rivet, axle, or shaft. |
| Bearing Strength | (english) The maximum bearing load at failure divided by the effective bearing area. In a pinned or riveted joint, the iffective area is calculated as the product of the diameter of the hole and the thickness of the bearing member. |
| Axial force: | (english) A system of internal forces whose resultant is a force acting along the longitudinal axis of a structural member or assembly. |
| Connection: | (english) Connection is similar to the concept of support, except that connection refers to a relationship between members in a structural model. A connection restrains degrees of freedom of one member with respect to another. For each restrained degree of freedom, there is a corresponding force transferred from one member to the other; forces associated with unrestrained degrees of freedom are zero. See fixed connection and pin connection. |
| Fixed connection: | (english) In two dimensions, a fixed connection between two members restrains all three degrees of freedom of the connected member with respect to one another. A fixed connection is sometimes called a rigid connection or moment-resisting connection. |
| Shear: | (english) An system of internal forces whose resultant is a force acting perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a structural member or assembly: sometimes called shear force. |
| Elastic Shortening | (Concrete Engineering) The shortening of a member in pre-stressed concrete which occurs on the application of forces induced by prestressing. |
| Precast | (Concrete Engineering) A concrete unit, structure or member that is cast and cured in an area other than its final position or place. |
| Tilt-up | (Concrete Engineering) A method of concrete construction such as where members are cast horizontally near their eventual position, usually on a recently placed slab, and then tilted into place after removal of forms. |
