Anything capable of deforming a body (static effect), or altering their state of motion or rest (dynamic effect)

Force

Force applied to a structure

Load

The elements of a body whose object is to support the forces applied to the body

Structure

Structures found in nature

Natural Structure

Structures created by humans

Artificial structures

Structure made of layers that wrap the object creating a protective shell

Planar strucutres

Structures made by piling up big amounts of similar materials, such as stones

Mass Structure

Structures consisting of an arrangement of arches, usually forming a ceiling or roof

Vaulted Structure

Structure consisting of triangular shapes that are used to make the structure more stable

Truss structure

Structure having the combination of beams, columns, and slabs to resist the gravity loads. Two types – Rigid and Braced

Frame structure

Structures with horizontal planes supported by cables hung from the parabolic sag of large, high strength steel cables supported by vertical suspenders

Suspension Structure

Spherical shell structures based on a network of polygons

Geodesic dome

Internal forces experienced by a body under the action of external forces

Stress

When forces acting on a body tend to stretch it

Traction or Tension

When forces acting on a body tend to flatten it or reduce its length or thickness

Compression

When forces acting on a body make it curve or bend

Bending

When two forces applied in opposite directions tend to cut the material

Shear

When forces acting on body tend to make it twist

Torsion

Compression resistant material

Concrete

Compression, tension and bending resistant material

Reinforced Concrete

Help create strong, light structures that are very cheap Help create strong, light structures that are very cheap. Examples include: I Beams, Channels, and Taper Flanges

Sections

Cables or braces subjection to traction

Hangers

The ability to recover equilibrium The ability to recover equilibrium. Small perturbations do not cause large movements.

Stability

The point at which all of the weight of an object appears to be concentrated

Center of Gravity

The State that I am from in the United States

Minnesota
