The structures By Nahuel Vazquez

The structures,


Are elements that are mainly supports (for solids) and containers (for liquids).

The uses are mostly for construction but we can find structures in very tiny things, like the structure of the DNA: 











We can find structures in the buildings; for support the roof, the walls, In bottles; for keep the water inside, In coding...

Natural Structures, are the ones that are not man-made. So, a human has not intervened in its creation, Like: bird's nests, mountains, cliffs, caves...
Man-made structures are the ones that man make. Is the opposite of Natural Structure.
Types:
Massive: Are enormous constructions that support well the passage of the years (Pyramids,
statue of Liberty).

Vaulted: It's mainly formed by arches, It's classic of the romanesc buildings (Churches, Coliseum).

Lattice: Are flat panels that are supported by pillars, The foundation is the part that is untherground and balance the weigh of the building, Floor, the beam distribute the weight of the building, the pillars support the weigh of the roof. (apartaments, Hotels).

 Triangulated: The beams have a triangular form, for distribute better the weigh of the roof: (Sport center, malls)

Suspended: uses cables for support whe weigh of a road, for example. (bridges, Zip line)

Pneumatic: are compressed air inside of a structure. It can be dismantled. (fun fair atractions, Puff® )

Rolled: are shells or blankets that are used for cover/protect, usually it's is made of plastic and metal. (Movile cover, PC's Box)

Geodesic: It combines the vaulted and the triangulated to form three-dimencional triangulated bars (greenhause) 


For me the best structure is the "Burj Khalifa" that is the highest building in the world, it is in Dubai.

Forces:
Compression: Is the action of pushing
Tension: Is the action of pushing
Torsion: Is the action of twisting
Shear: is the action of cutting
