  2. Cruck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruck

    True cruck or full cruck: The blades, straight or curved, extend from a foundation near the ground to the ridge. A full cruck does not need a tie beam and may be called a "full cruck - open" or with a tie beam a "full cruck - closed". [7] Base cruck: The tops of the blades are truncated by the first transverse member such as by a tie beam. [7]

  3. Stirrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirrup

    [3] [30] The stirrup depicted is a mounting stirrup, only placed on one side of the horse, and too short for riding. The earliest reliable representation of a full-length, double-sided riding stirrup was also unearthed from a Jin tomb, this time near Nanjing, dating to the Eastern Jin period, 322 AD.

  4. Timber framing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing

    True cruck or full cruck: blades, straight or curved, extend from ground or foundation to the ridge acting as the principal rafters. A full cruck does not need a tie beam. Base cruck: tops of the blades are truncated by the first transverse member such as by a tie beam. Raised cruck: blades land on masonry wall, and extend to the ridge.

  5. Hammerbeam roof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerbeam_roof

    A hammer-beam is a form of timber roof truss, allowing a hammerbeam roof to span greater than the length of any individual piece of timber.In place of a normal tie beam spanning the entire width of the roof, short beams – the hammer beams – are supported by curved braces from the wall, and hammer posts or arch-braces are built on top to support the rafters and typically a collar beam.

  6. Bent (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_(structural)

    A bent in American English is a transverse rigid frame (or similar structures such as three-hinged arches).Historically, bents were a common way of making a timber frame; they are still often used for such, and are also seen in small steel-frame buildings, where the term portal frame is more commonly used.

  7. Rebar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar

    Stirrup sample. Stirrups form the outer part of a rebar cage. The function of stirrups (often referred to as 'reinforcing steel links' and 'shear links') is threefold: to give the main reinforcement bars structure, to maintain a correct level of concrete cover, and to maintain an equal transferance of force throughout the supporting elements. [30]

  9. Glossary of engineering: M–Z - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_engineering:_M–Z

    In structural and mechanical engineering, the shear strength of a component is important for designing the dimensions and materials to be used for the manufacture or construction of the component (e.g. beams, plates, or bolts). In a reinforced concrete beam, the main purpose of reinforcing bar (rebar) stirrups is to increase the shear strength.
