Stability When a structure is ability to remain it’s balance with or when another force is acting on it.
Centre of Gravity The middle of an object were all the mass is centred in one point, all balanced and equal from all directions.
Beam A straight across horizontal structure that is made for supporting the mass of another structure or object.
I-beam A horizontal beam that from the end looks like an “I”.
Corrugation The multiple folds that are in some materials add more strength to structure, for protection from things like rain.
Cantilever When a beam is attached, supported at only one end of it.
Truss -When a series of triangles form together for strength and form
Arch When supporting a mass, it is curved and spread out for space for more strength.
Dome A shell structure that it almost like a half of a ball, with unique ways of looking.
Structural failure When a structure fails to support the load/mass that expected. Losing the ability, or lost.
