    This document discusses struts and ties in structures. A strut is the part of a structure that is under compressive force, such as roof beams supporting the weight of tiles. A tie is the part under tensile force, such as wires stretching to hold up a flagpole. The document provides examples of structures where parts are under tension or compression and asks the reader to draw an example identifying the different parts and explain the difference between tension and compression.

    STRUTS AND TIES


    PDF FILE - CLICK HERE FOR PRINTABLE WORKSHEET BASED ON EXERCISE BELOW
    An understanding of the terms, struts, and ties is important, as these can be mentioned in examinations. All structures
    have forces acting on them. You should have an understanding of tensile, compressive and shear forces (see previous sheet).
    The part of the structure that has a tensile force acting on it is called a TIE and the part that has a compressive force acting
    on it is called a STRUT.
    WALL

    ROOF

    The beam is held in position by a steel The roof beams are under pressure from
    rod. The weight of the beam is stretching the weight of the tiles on the roof
    the rod (tensile force).
    (compressive force).
    The floor beam is being stretched
    (tensile force).

    FLAGPOLE
    The wires on either side of the flagpole
    are being stretched (tensile force).
    Why is the pole under a compressive
    force ?

    In the diagram opposite, forces act across the entire length of


    the beam (it bends because of the weight of the person). When
    a structure bends like this, it is in tension, as it is being

    stretched.

    1. Draw an example of a structure and identify which part(s)


    are in tension and which are in compression.
    2. Explain the difference between tension and compression.
