3. Triangular structures

   • These structures are made from bars, normally metal or wooden..The use of triangular shapes means they are not easily deformed

4. Suspended structures

   • This type of structure uses cables, called suspenders which the structure hangs from

5. Reinforced concrete structures

   • concrete led to mjor advances in constructin because it could be made into ay shape

6. Laminated structures

   • these formed by laminates fo metal, plastic or composite material like reinforced concrete.Their curved shape and folds give them their strength

7. Pneumatic structures

   • Are light and easly to transport, set up and dismantle

8. Spatial and geodesic

   • These are three-dimensional structures of bars, which combine the propeties of vaults with triangulated structures
