Description
In the 1990s, financial markets in the United States boomed. The Dow Jones Industrial
Index—a widely quoted index of the values of 30 large corporations (see Chapter 8 )—rose
from a level of 2,800 in January 1990 to more than 11,000 by the end of the decade; this
compares to a move from 100 at its inception in 1906 to 2,800 eighty-four years later.
In the early 2000s, as a result of an economic downturn in the United States and elsewhere,
this index fell back below 10,000. The index rose to over 14,000 in July 2007,
but (because of an increasing mortgage market credit crunch, particularly the subprime
mortgage market) fell back to below 13,000 within a month of hitting the all-time high. By
2008, problems in the subprime mortgage market escalated to a full blown financial crisis
and the worst recession in the United States since the Great Depression. The Dow Jones
Industrial Arerage (DJIA) fell to 6,547 in March 2009 before recovering, along with the
economy, to over 11,000 in April 2010.

EAAE2155: STRUCTURES 2A
Trending!
A force as you defined in secondary school is a push or pull. Forces may fail to change an object’s motion if they are cancelled by other forces, e.g. the force of gravity pulling you down right now is being cancelled by the force of the chair pushing up on you. When nothing is moving, forces are balanced. The metric unit of force is the Newton (N). Forces may be internal (forces
acting within the structure itself) or external (forces acting on the object from the outside) In simple terms; when you take a force and divide it over a particular crosssectional area you get stress.
