Structures

1. Types

   • Mass structures
   • Spended structures
   • Truss structures
   • Frame structures

2. Condicions for strong structures

   • Rigidity
   • Equilibrium
   • Stability

3. Types of stress

   • Compression
   • Tension
   • Bending
   • Torsion
   • Shear

4. Strengthening elements

   • By makng them more stable
   • By making them more rigid
   • The types of forces applied and the points where they act.
   • The shape of the structure and the elements that form it.

5. Elements that increase stability

   • Stable
   • Centre of gravity

6. Elements that increase rigidity. Trusses

   • Trussing
   • A brace
   • Sections
   • Stay cables
