types of structures

types of structures

1. masive structures

   • Massive structures consist of large blocks or concrete -materials that are densely concentrated. They are used in large buldings that need to withstand and constant loads.
     • For example megalithc constructions ,pyramids and large dams

2. Frame structures

   • Frame structures consist of vertical and horizontal elements which combine to from a frame .
     • For example the buldings and the tallest skycarpers

3. Suspended structures

   • Suspended structures consist of cables , braces or tensioners . They are fastened to the main elements , which are secured to the supports by anchors
     • For example auch as tents or TV aerials

4. Triangulated structures

   • Triangulated structures consist in criss-corossing bars arranged in a tringular shape .these structures are light,rigid and very resistant .
     • For example pylons,cranes and ferrris wheels all share this type of construction

5. Laminated structures

   • Laminated structures consist of surfaces covered in sheeting or laminate that cover the other elements .The intention is to froma shell that provides shape and protection
     • For example cladding for buldings and car body panels

6. Pneumatic structures

   • Pneumatic structures consist of a membrane os composite material.This material can withstand tracción forces generated bueno compressed air inside it.
     • For example the inflatable boats and tyres

7. Vaulated structures

   • The main elements of this type of structure are the arch ,the vault and dome . Vaulted structures are bale yo resist compression forces.
     • For example usted in tunnels and bridges

8. Geodestic structures

   • Geodesic structures are a combination of triangulated and vaulted structures . They use polygons
     • For example the light and stong and cover large Spaces
