STRUCTURES ;)

STRUCTURES ;)

1. Set of elements

   • Two types of structures
     • Artificial
       • Naturals

2. FORCES

   • anything that can deform it
   • For example : you push a book

3. LOADS

   • Force that acts on a structure
     • STRESSES

4. STRESSES

   • are the effects that loads cause in a structure

5. TYPE OF STRESSES

   • traction
     • compresion
       • bending
   • torsion
     • shear

6. STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS

   • stability
     • capacity of a strucutre to remain up
     • resistance
       • capacity of a strucutee to bear stresses
       • rigidity
         • capacity of a strucutre to become deformed
