STRUCTURES

1. Set of elements in a body that are designed to resist the effects of the forces that act on it, while maintaining its original shape

2. Structural conditions

   • Stability
   • Resistance
   • Rigidity

3. Functions

   • Storage
   • Height functions
   • Protection and shape maintenance
   • Coverage and spaces creation function
   • Traversing geographic obstacles

4. Force

   • Physical magnitude able to alter the shape or the movement state of an element
   • Loads (forces upon a body)
     • Permanent
     • Variable

5. Stresses

   • Traction
   • Compression
   • Bending
   • Torsion
   • Shearing or cutting

6. Types (man-made)

   • Massive structures, lintels
   • Vaulted
   • Triangular
   • Suspended
