Design Studies 1ASTRUCTURES

Nature of Structure

a building is a balancing act

human space does not exist untilenclosed by structure

STRUCTURE IS WHAT WE CONSTRUCT

resistance of structure vs

forces of nature

TRUCTUR

S E

2/27

Nature of Structure

structure functions as a whole

designed in response to anticipated loads

relatively fragile wrt unanticipated loads

3/27

Function of Structure

the function of structure is to resist all the forces acting(on the building) and to

transfer them to supports(the ground)

4/27

Considerations

stability - equilibrium building must not move - up, sideways or overturn all forces and moments must balance

strength building must not break / collapse

stiffness - functionality building must continue to serve its purpose must not deform too much

3 main considerations

5/27

Need to Consider

behaviour of physical objects subjected to forces

space and dimensionality

material behaviour

concerned with

6/27

must resist loads due to gravity, wind, vibrations, impact and earthquakes

major portion of structure for emergency - safety factors

behaviour of materials - deformation under stress - may deteriorate

7/27

Need to Consider (Cont.)

Design of Structure

maximum efficiency ?

interesting / innovative forms ?

What is the problem???

8/27

Designing Structures

no right answer

larger the enclosed space - more need for structural efficiency

9/27

little skill required to designbuilding which will stand up

What do we Want to Know?

what is structure - what does structure do?

what are we trying to do?

25/27

encloses space

prevent failure - equilibrium, strength, functionality

What do we Want to Know?

what causes failure?

26/27

loads - moments

insufficient support

inadequate arrangement

inadequate strength - size, material

inadequate stiffness

What do we Want to Know?

what must the structure do?

what are elements of structure?

27/27

resist loads / moments

supports

structure itself

transfer loads / moments to supports / ground

resist deformation
