🔍 Key Concepts

• Structural support members that carry loads vertically vs. horizontally • How forces from a concentrated load are spread out over a larger area • Differences between stringers, gussets, and stanchions in ship construction

💭 Think About

• Which of these members is primarily meant to carry a load downward and pass it to the structure below? • Which item is usually vertical, which are horizontal or angled, and how does that affect how they carry loads? • If you had a heavy weight on a deck, which member would most likely be used directly under it to transfer that load to the deck or hull structure?

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, identify whether it is mainly vertical, longitudinal (lengthwise), or a plate used for reinforcement. • Ask: does this member’s main job involve supporting a load from above and transmitting it downward? • Eliminate any member whose primary purpose is stiffening or tying structures together rather than directly carrying vertical loads.
