Types of Solid Structures Explained

The document identifies and classifies the four main types of structures: solid structures, frame structures, shell structures, and combination structures. Solid structures use solid construction to support loads, like concrete dams. Frame structures are a network of parts that support loads, such as the Eiffel Tower. Shell structures use a hollow, curved surface for strength and rigidity, like bike helmets. Combination structures make use of multiple structure types in one, such as houses with solid foundations, wooden frames, and shell roofs.

Learning Goal
We are learning to: identify and
classify the four main types of
structures
First, let’s take a look at some
famous structures.
What are they? Where are they?
What is their function?
Solid Structures
•Solid structures use solid construction to
support loads
•For example: A concrete dam uses a solid
structure to hold back the extremely heavy
weight of the water
Solid Structures
Solid Structures
Frame Structures
•Frame structures are a network of
parts that support loads
•For example: The Eifel Tower in Paris is a
frame structure
Frame Structures
Frame Structures
Shell Structures
•Shell structures use a hollow, curved
surface for strength and rigidity
•For example: A bike helmet is a shell
structure
Shell Structures
Shell Structures
Combination Structure
•Combination Structures make use of some or
all of the different structure types in one
structure
•For example: A house is a combination structure
because it makes use of a solid foundation, a
wooden frame, and a shell roof

On my trip to Rome there
were a lot of amazing
structures to look at…
