The allowable compressive stress in the compression chord should be the lesser of FC or FCB. The compression chord can be made without a T-section, with a bolted on T-section or as a built-up T-beam. This is entirely dependent on rigidity of the vertical member.
Q. Can tension ever zero?
Zero tension is slack. A string or rope is often idealized as one dimension, having length but being massless with zero cross section.

Q. Does negative stress mean compression?
Compressive stress has stress units (force per unit area), usually with negative values to indicate the compaction. Compressive stress is defined in the same way as the tensile stress but it has negative values so as to express the compression since dL has the opposite direction.
Q. What is negative normal stress?
normal stress (σ) The stress which acts perpendicularly to the plane to which a force has been applied. Normal compressive stresses (with positive values) inhibit sliding along a plane; normal tensile stresses (with negative values) separate rocks along a plane.

Q. What are examples of negative stress?
Examples of negative personal stressors include:
- The death of a spouse.
- Filing for divorce.
- Losing contact with loved ones.
- The death of a family member.
- Hospitalization (oneself or a family member)
- Injury or illness (oneself or a family member)
- Being abused or neglected.
Q. What does negative shear stress mean?
A shear stress acting on a positive face is positive if it acts in the positive direction of an axis, and negative if it acts in the negative direction of an axis. A shear stress acting on a negative face is positive if it acts in the negative direction of an axis and negative if it acts in the positive direction.
Q. What is negative normal force?
“Normal” just means “perpendicular to the surface, measured in the direction from the other surface”. If the normal force on the graph is negative, that means that if the object wasn’t glued on, it would have lost contact with the plate as soon as the force was zero.
Q. Can a normal be negative?
The normal reaction force is the force the ground exerts on the object to prevent the object from sinking into the ground. It can be zero. In which case, it would means that the object is floating just above the surface, not really touching it. But it cannot be negative.
Q. Why is normal force negative?
Explanation: Normal force is defined as the force that a surface exerts on an object. If the object is at rest, net force on the object is equal to zero; therefore, the downward force (weight) must be equal to the upward force (normal force). Since weight acts in the downward direction it will be negative.
