Lesson 1/4 | Study Time: 20 Min
Topic 1:  Types of Structures, Internal Forces, Forms of Structures, and Types of Joints in Framed Structures
  • Types of Structures:
    • Framed structures (buildings, bridges)
    • Truss structures (bridges, roofs)
    • Shell structures (tanks, domes)
    • Solid structures (dams, walls)
  • Internal Forces:
    • Tension (pulling force)
    • Compression (pushing force)
    • Shear (sliding force)
    • Bending moment (causes bending)
    • Torsion (causes twisting)
  • Forms of Structures:
    • Rectangular frames
    • Triangular/truss forms
    • Arch structures
    • Space frames
  • Types of Joints in Framed Structures:
    • Pinned joints (hinged connections)
    • Fixed joints (rigid connections)
    • Roller joints (allow movement in one direction)
