1. Structure:

   • Structures are a set of elements that prevent a body from breaking or deforming
     • Natural
       • They aren't made by the man, they are in live beings, in their composition or in the geological porcess, like a cave
     • Man-Made
       • The man-made structures are made by humans to satisfy a need

2. Forces

   • Forces are everything that can deform a body, make it move or make it stop
     • Loads are a type of force that acts on a a structure
       • There are two types of loads:
         • Permanent
           • They are constant, and they don’t vary over time. Like the weight of the structure of a bridge.
             • Loads produce stress on the structure of a body, and effects depending on the shape of the structure, the application point, the direction and trajectory.
         • Variable
           • They vary over time. Like the wind hitting a bridge.
