TRANSCRIPT
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

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
