Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 1RQ
What are the major material groups?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The major material groups.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The major material group include metals, non-metallic inorganic materials, polymers and organic materials.
Explanation of Solution
The construction materials are grouped into following categories,
A. Metals:
They are refined from ores which are extracted from the earth. They are strong, ductile and are useful when the structure is subjected to tensile forces.
B. Non-metallic inorganic materials:
They are also extracted from earth and are often referred as ceramics. Typical examples include, sand, glass, limestone, cement, mortar, gypsum and brick. Most of them are hard, brittle, rigid and heavy and are used when compressive forces act over a structure.
C. Polymers:
They consist of repeating structural units of large molecules which are connected by chemical bonds and are used in a variety of applications, which includes conduit and pipes, wire and cable, adhesives, insulation and roofing.
D. Organic material:
They include grasses, wood, bitumen and many synthetic materials containing carbon, like, paper products, asphalts and rubber.

What is the shear and normal stresses of Point J and Point K?
What are the states of stress (magnitude and tension/compression of the normal stresses and shear stress) at Point J and Point K?
Consider, M people (aka pax) who want to travel by car from O to D. They all start working at
D at Q (e.g., Q-8am). If a person departs at time t, assume the time needed to go from O to D
is given by c(t)=A+Bx(t), where x(t) is the flow of people departing at time t [car/unit of time].
In addition, a is the penalty for being early at work (E(t) is how early the person arrived when
departing at time t), and ẞ is the penalty for being late at work (L(t) is how late the person
arrived when departing at time t). Assume 0 < a < 1 < ß. Further assume the departure time
choice problem under the equilibrium conditions. Prove that the arrival time of people who
depart when most of the M people start their trips is equal to Q.
