I was and I am troubling with some of the very easy Definition.(Not jumble in words like tension and ten-son !!)When it is the time of Description I Can manage but when it's question to be particular to words I am so confused, I think at my age it's happened with all. so I share here some of the definitions.
- Quantity: How much there is or how many there are of something that you can
- Elongation: An addition to the length of something.
- Deformation: Alternation in the shape or dimensions of an object as a result of the application stress to it.
- Stress: Force that produces strain on a physical body.
- Strain: Deformation of a physical body under the action of applied forces.
- Shrinkage: Process, or result of becoming less or smaller
- Creep: A slow longitudinal movement or deformation
- Inelastic: Not able to adjust readily to different conditions.
- Tension: A stress that produces an elongation of an Elastic physic body.
- Shear:The Influence that Produces a change in a Physical Quantity.
- Force: The influence that produce a change in a physical quantity
- Creep in concrete: progressive increase in the inelastic deformation of concrete under sustained stress component.
- Shrinkage in concrete: Contraction of concrete on drying.
- Creep co-officiant: The ratio of the total creep strain to elastic strain in concrete.
- Cracking load: The load on the structural elements corresponding to the first visible crack.
