   • forces
     • loads
       • stresses

2. mechanical stresses

   • tension
     • compression
       • bending
         • torsion
           • shearing of cutting

3. characteristics of structures

   • How to make a structure more stable ?
     • what is the resistance of a material?
       • how to give ridigity to a structure?

4. types of structures

   • mass and lintelled of structure
     • vaulted structures
