MAN-MADE STRUCTURES

MAN-MADE STRUCTURES

1. Laminated structures

   • c
   • They are formed by laminates of metal,plastic or composite material like rainforced concrete.Their curved shape and folds give them their strength

2. suspended structures

   • x
   • This type of structure use cables,called suspended wich the structure hangs from.When they can be adjusted,they called tension members

3. Vaulted structures

   • Are formed by arches and vaults using stones that are cut in such a way that the only stress they support is compression

4. Pneumatic structures

   • dx
   • Are light and easy to transport,set up and dismantle

5. Triangular structures

   • x
   • Are made from bars,normally metal or wooden.The use of triangular shapes means they are not easily deformed

6. Spatial and geodesic

   • wq
   • These are three-dimensional structures of bars,wich combine the properties of vaults with triangulated structures to create curved shapes and cover large spaces.

7. Massive structures and lintels

   • were caved from rock or were built stacking rocks or other materials 
   • were caved from rock or were built stacking rocks or other materials

8. Reinforced concrete structures

   • c
   • Concrete led to major advances in construction becouse it could be made intro any shape.
