Structures

  • A structure is something which holds together without falling apart or collapsing.
  • When we design and make anything, we have to make sure that it will stay the shape we want it to be and to support the weight,or load, that we know it will have to take.
  • We can do this by understanding which shapes are strong, understanding how materials behave and understanding forces which push and pull on structures.
