UNIT 3: Structures

1. Forces,loads and stresses (gravity, wind and pressure)

   • Forces
     • Internal Forces
     • Externel forces
   • Loads
     • Fixed or permanent loads
     • Variable loads
   • Stress

2. Mechanical stress

   • Tension
   • Compression
   • Bending
   • Torsion
   • Searing or cutting

3. Types of structure ( stability, resistente and rigidity)

   • How to give rigidity to a structure
   • What is the resistance of a material?
   • How to make a structure more stable?

4. Types of structures
