STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS
HOW CAN WE MAKE A STRUCTURE STABLE, RESISTANCE AND RIGID?
Resistance:
depends of
quantity of material
shape of the structure
material
Tensile strength.
maximun force per unit of surface area
can bear without breaking
EXAMPLES OF STRONGEST MATERIALS:
steel
cement
Stability:
Bury
the bottom section in the ground and use strong foundations.
Centre
the weight in the lowest part and add extra weight.
Wilden
its base.
Brace
It doesn't fall over .
(braces we widen the radious of the base)
Rigidity:
joins
triangulation
shape
bases of the stress it bears
compression
thick elements
to avoid buckling
traction
the section bigger and tighten the elements
bending
breadth bigger and use more material
top of the elements
bottoms the elements
rigid joints
between the parts of a concrete structure
steel rebar frameworks
metal structures
corbelling
welding are and the joint bigger
triangular structures
cross-bracing using crossed cables
Stability
remain upright and not fall over
the centre of gravity of the structure
centred over its base.
close to the ground
for it to be more stable.
Resistance:
bear the tensions that it's subjected
without breaking.
resistance depends
material udes to build it
its shape
Rigidity:
all bodies
deform slightly when a force is applied to them
the deformation
must not prevent the strcuture
form fulfilling its function
