Question 1
What is a column shear?
- The load at the top of a column
- The internal force resisting lateral loads
- The total weight of the structure
💡 Hint: Focus on the resistance to lateral forces.
Question 2
True or False: Girders do not affect column shears.
- True

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You have a structure with three columns carrying lateral loads of 30 kN. If the height of each column is 12 ft, calculate the moments at the top and bottom of each column.
💡 Hint: Use V × H for each column and ensure total loads equal across.
Question 2
Evaluate the impacts on structural stability if one column experiences a sudden increase in shear force. How would you redesign?
💡 Hint: Consider load transfer and additional supports if necessary.
