STRUCTURES
Solid's
A solid structure has just one component and no gaps. Solid constructions are capable of bearing a large load. Some solid objects are created naturally
Examples rock,some are manmade like bricks
strengthening structure
-
the process of modernizing structures to enhance performance under current loads or to boost structural members' strength to carry more weight.

triangulartion
The only polygon whose shape does not change is the triangle. In order for the triangle to stay stiff and stable, a force must be applied to each of its three sides. The triangle is a particularly important tool in construction because of its special stability.
center of gravity
The centre of gravity of an object is the average location of the weight of an object, where the
weight is evenly spread, i.e., the point of the most downward force. The centre of gravity in a
ball would be the centre of the ball, whilst the centre of gravity of a person would be higher
than their waist, as there is more weight in the top half of the body than the bottom half.
The most stable position is to have equal amounts of mass, and force, on each side of the

Reinforcing

-
In a frame structure, the parts of the structure are made up of various elements. Some structural elements can also help a structure to be stable.
Foundations
Gravity and the heavy load of the structure push downwards, the ground pushes back up, and air movements push from the side. A foundation spreads the load into the surrounding ground material and can help balance the wind force from the sides. The size of the foundation depends on the strength of the supporting ground. Many structures are built with strong foundations under the ground.
