3. Bent (structural) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_(structural)

   Bents are the building blocks that define the overall shape and character of a structure. They do not have any sort of pre-defined configuration in the way that a Pratt truss does.

7. Blocking (construction) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_(construction)

   The intervals for the blocks are specified in the building code or as calculated by a structural engineer. Blocking also resists the rotational movement, or twisting, of floor joists as they deflect under load. This may take the form of diagonal cross bracing, or herringbone, bracing between floor joists.
