Structural steelStructural steel is a category of steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes. Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated beam having a of a specific cross section. Structural steel shapes, sizes, chemical composition, mechanical properties such as strengths, storage practices, etc., are regulated by standards in most industrialized countries. Most structural steel shapes, such as -beams, have high second moments of area, which means they are very stiff in respect to their cross-sectional area and thus can support a high load without excessive sagging.
Demand curveIn a demand schedule, a demand curve is a graph depicting the relationship between the price of a certain commodity (the y-axis) and the quantity of that commodity that is demanded at that price (the x-axis). Demand curves can be used either for the price-quantity relationship for an individual consumer (an individual demand curve), or for all consumers in a particular market (a market demand curve). It is generally assumed that demand curves slope down, as shown in the adjacent image.
GraphisteUn graphiste est un professionnel de la communication qui conçoit des solutions de communication visuelle. Il travaille sur le sens des messages à l'aide des formes graphiques qu'il utilise sur tout type de supports. Le graphiste est alors un médiateur qui agit sur les conditions de réception et d’appropriation des informations et des savoirs qu’il met en forme. Ses connaissances reposent sur la typographie, l'usage des signes et des s, l'art de la mise en page.
