Resource summary
structures and forces
Designing a structure
For saftey
For forces on a bridge
For loads
Types of structures
Frame structures
Are made up of parts fastened together.
Examples are ,your skeleton, a spider web and a tennis racket.
Shell structures
Are rigid round structures that are hollow inside.
Igloos, egg cartons, eggs ,and a blown up balloon are examples.
Combination structures
Are structures made of shell ,solid ,and frame structures
Houses ,offices ,and skyscrapers are all examples of combination structures.
Man made structures
Natural structures
Solid structures
Are structures that are generally solid all the way through.
Some examples are: a sand castle, a concrete pillar ,and mountains.
Forces
Types of forces
Internal forces
Compression
A force that squeezes or presses something together.
Tension
A force that stretches apart to expand or lengthen.
Shear
A force that pushes in opposite directions.
Torsion
A force that twists
A part of a structure acting on another part of the same structure
External forces
Forces that act on a structure from the outside
An example is the wind
loads
Dynamic load
The moving load on a structure
Static load
The effect of gravity on a structure
Plane of application
The side affected by a force.
Point of application
The point where a force meets a structure.
A force is any push or pull on a structure.
Form
Is the basic shape of a structure
Function
Is the job a structure does. Each structure has a job or function.
Sensors
Motion
Tempreture
Smoke
Light
Materials used for building a structure.
Beam
box beam
I-beam
Arch
Cantileaver
Column
Corrugated
Cardboard
metal
