The member which is subjected to bending is called-
-
A.
Footing
-
B.
Slab
-
C.
Column
-
D.
Beam
Correct Answer:
D. Beam
Explanation:
A beam is a structural member primarily designed to resist loads applied laterally to its axis, which causes it to bend. While other elements like slabs also experience flexure, a beam is specifically defined as a line element where the length is significantly greater than its cross-sectional dimensions, and its primary internal resistance is against bending moments and shear forces. - Footing: The lowest part of a foundation that distributes loads to the soil, primarily subjected to compression.
- Slab: A flat, planar element that supports area loads; while it undergoes flexure, it is categorized as a surface element rather than a primary linear bending member.
- Column: A vertical member designed to carry axial compressive loads, though it may experience secondary bending due to buckling or eccentricity.
- Beam: A horizontal or inclined linear member that transforms transverse loads into bending moments and shear stresses.
