STRUCTURES

1. Forces

   • Loads
     • Stresses
       • Types of stresses
         • Traction
         • Compression
         • Bending
         • Torsion
         • Shear

2. Types of structures

   • Artificial
   • Natural

3. Structural conditions

   • Stability
     • Depends of :
       • The center of gravity of the gravity
       • The way the object stands on the ground
     • We can give a structure stability by:
       • Adding mass
       • Bracing it
       • Burying it's
   • Resistance
     • Depends on
       • The material
       • The quantity
       • The shape
   • Rigidity
     • Comes from:
       • Rigid joints
       • Using triangular structures
