A structure is something that is constructed, or built.

Structures are made by joining parts to meet a certain need or perform a certain task.

Structures can be natural or human-made.

Forces on StructuresForces on Structures

External forces come from outside the structure, act upon the structure, and are called loads.

♦ Static loads, or dead loads, change slowly or not at all.

♦ Dynamic loads, or live loads, move or change.

A force is a push or a pull that transfers energy to an object.

Forces on StructuresForces on Structures

Internal forces are forces that one part of the structure exerts on another. They act within a structural material.

♦ Compression

♦ Tension

♦ Torsion

♦ Shear

Structural MaterialsStructural MaterialsWood is a versatile material cut from trees into various sizes of lumber.

Engineered wood is a composite material made by combining wood strands, fibers, and veneers with adhesives.

Steel is an alloy made from iron and carbon.

Concrete is made by mixing cement, sand, gravel, and water.

Structural MembersStructural MembersStructural members are connected to form the framework of a structure.

Studs, joists, rafters, beams, and columns are examples of structural members.

The International Space StationThe International Space StationThe ISS is the most complex structure ever built.

Sixteen countries are participating in its construction.

When completed, the ISS will enable scientists to conduct important experiments in a microgravity environment.

Making a Structure StableMaking a Structure Stable

Soil must provide support for the building.

Wind resistance is important for safety in strong winds.

Earthquake resistance helps buildings stay intact when the ground shakes.
