TYPES OF ARTIFICIAL STRUCTURES

TYPES OF ARTIFICIAL STRUCTURES

1. Suspended

   • They are based on the use of cables from which the structure hangs.

2. Vaulted

   • They are the structures formed by arches, vaults and domes.

3. Frame

   • They are the structures of our buildings and houses. They combine elements such as beams and pillars.

4. Triangulated

   • They are usually made up of metal or wooden bars.

5. Pneumatic

   • Pneumatic structures are removable and light, therefore they are used in constructions that must be transported and installed quickly and easily.

6. Massive

   • The earliest man-made constructions were very heavy and massive.

7. Geodesic

   • They are three-dimensional structures made up of bars, that combine the properties of vaults with those of triangulated structures.

8. Laminated

   • They are made of thin sheets of metal, plastic or composite materials such as reinforced concrete.
