  1. UNIT 2 part B STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDINGS (continued)

  2. Suspension Structures

  3. Key influences in designing and constructing buildings • structural design • structural materials

  4. STRUCTURAL DESIGN • Strength the materials used in the construction of the building must have adequate to support all applied loads • dead loads • live loads • Stability must be capable of withstanding all appled forces without becoming unstable

  5. Tensile stress Compressive stress

  6. Shear stress

  7. Overturning moments

  14. Buttressing

  15. Oblique forces

  16. Unstable structure

  17. The gothic structure

  18. Variation on the gothic structure

  19. Variation on the gothic structure

  20. Deformation

  21. Tension and compression

  22. STRUCTURAL MATERIALS • Timber, stone, brick - oldest most traditional materials. Generally limited to smaller structures. • STEEL • Widely used from thinnest sheets to solid sections. • Good in tension, not quite so good in compression. • Used in solid sections, reinforcing bars, tubular sections and cables • CONCRETE • Predates steel/iron as a construction material. Good in compression, weak in tension – hence reinforced concrete

  23. Some example of complex structures
