Structures

Structures

1. Force

   • Is anything can deform a body
     • Push
     • Drop
     • Hold
     • Press down

2. Load

   • Is the force that acts on a structure

3. Structural conditions

   • Stability
     • Is the capacity of a structure to remain up right and not tip over
       • Is the center to gravity of the objets
       • Adding mass to the base
       • Bracing it
       • Burying Its bottom section underground
   • Resistance
     • Is the capacity to bear the stress without breaking
       • Material
       • Shape
       • Quantity
   • Rigidity
     • Is the capacity of a structure to become deformed but the deformation is not filling its function
       • Rigid joins
       • Triangular structures

4. A structure is a set of elements in the body and they can resist the forces

   • Natural
   • Artificial

5. Stresses

   • Are the effects that looks cause in structures
     • Compression
       • Load tends to compres the structure
     • Traction
       • Load tents to stretch the structure
     • Shear
       • Load tends to shear the structure
     • Torsion
       • Load tends to twist the structure
     • Bending
       • Load tents to bend the structure
