STRUCTURES (bilingue)

What is a structure?

• support the force at all times

• appear or disappear depending on external conditions

• is a set of elements united with each other, with the mission of supporting the forces acting on them

• Combine materials like pillars, columns,...

What kinds of forces are there?

• Tension or traction, compression, bending, torsion, shear

• Natural and artificial

• Fixed or permanent, variables, static, dynamic

• Massive, vaulted

What kind of structure is this?

• Natural

• Beams

• Created by nature

• None of the above

What conditions must a structure meet?

• Stability, natural, artificial, triangulation

• Stability, rigidity, artificial

• Tension, bending, traction

• Stability, resistance, rigidity

What is the method to make the structure more rigid?

• Pillars and beams

• Triangulation

• Arches, vaults and domes

• Make the structure bigger and make a base also bigger

Answer explanation

The triangulation is a method to obtain more rigid structures which consists of making triangular structures.

Triangulation gives rigidity to the structure.

What kind of effort is seen in the image?

• Shear

• Traction

• Bending

• None of the above is correct

Which of these images are massive structures?

• 
• 
• 

In what type of structures are pillars used?

• Framework structures

• Massive structures

• Hanging structures

• Laminated structures

What type of structure is the Eiffel Tower?

• Laminated structures

• Triangulated structures

• Hanging structures

• Vaulted structures
