külgtugevus
Külgtugevus refers to the ability of a structure or material to resist forces applied perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. This resistance is crucial in many engineering applications where bending or lateral loads are present. For example, a beam in a building must have sufficient külgtugevus to support the weight of the floor above it without excessive deflection or failure. Similarly, the sides of a dam experience külgtugevus from the pressure of the water.
The külgtugevus of a material is determined by its mechanical properties, such as its modulus of elasticity
