Compression

Engineering of Structures:
Tension and Compression You have studied engineering principles that can be applied to
Engineering of Structures: structural systems everywhere: in nature, in furniture, in mechanical
Shear and Bending
and aerospace systems, and in any solid object that resists a load.
Engineering of Structures: More specifically, you have: Learned about funicular forms and how
Response of Structures
ropes and cables resist tension. Discussed how columns, arches, and
anti-funicular forms resist compression. Discovered how trusses,
beams and walls resist loads. • Sketched the flow of forces through
structures. Compared and contrasted different structural forms and
systems to answer a range of questions such as: Why might an
engineer choose a beam over a truss? How do the dimensions of a
structure affect its response? How do engineers choose forms and
systems to create structures that are both elegant and functional?
