A strut is a structural member subjected to
A.
Tension in a direction parallel to its longitudinal axis
B.
Tension in a direction perpendicular to its longitudinal axis 
C.
Compression in a direction parallel to its longitudinal axis
D.
Compression in a direction perpendicular to its longitudinal axis
Answer ( Option C)

Compression in a direction parallel to its longitudinal axis

Solution

Compression members: The members subjected to axial compressive force in a direction parallel to longitudinal axis are called compression members 
Types of compression members: 
• Strut: It is a web member of a roof truss or brace frame subjected to light axial compressive loads. 
• Principal strut: It is a top chord member of a roof truss or a truss girder subjected to heavy axial compression 
• Column or post or stanchion: It is a vertical member of a steel building frame that is used to support a floor girder or floor subjected to heavy axial compressive loads. 
• Boom: It is a principle compression member of a crane
