 BEAM
izsd@yahoo.com


                    DEFINITION
DEFINITION > COLUMN
  A rigid, relatively slender structural member designed primarily to
    support axial, compressive loads applied at the member ends.

DEFINITION > BEAM
  A rigid structural member designed to carry & transfer transverse
              loads across space to supporting elements.


      POST & BEAM SYSTEM @ POST & LINTEL SYSTEM
     A simple construction method using a lintel, header, or
    architrave as the horizontal member over a building void
 supported at its ends by two vertical columns, pillars, or posts.

POST AND BEAM STRUCTURES
• Most architectural structures are of the post-and-beam type.

• Post and beam buildings carry the weight of their structural components(and
  the weight of objects and people in them) by bearing on one another.

• The weight of the roof and beams is carried by the posts down to the
  foundation and then into the ground. Horizontal beams are subject to bending
  loads, therefore the structural materials should be able of resisting both tension
  and compression.

• We can further subdivide the post and beam structures into:

                    DEFINITION
 A structural frame based on the geometric rigidity of the triangle &
    composed of linear members subject only to axial tension @
                           compression.

1. PLANAR TRUSS
DEFINITION:
A truss all of whose
members lie in a single
plane (two dimensional
plane).

                     DEFINITION
  Three-dimensional framework of members pinned
                   at their ends.
                     • A tetrahedron shape is the simplest space
                       truss, consisting of six members which meet
                       at four joints.

• Number of bars
  interconnected
  at the nodes.

• e.g.
  domes, barrel

                          TYPES
3. SUSPENDED STRUCTURES (cable or membrane)
• Form of long-span structure that is subject to tension and
  uses suspension cables for support.
• e.g. Cable roofs.

GEODESIC
 FRAME
izsd@yahoo.com


                 DEFINITION
   A steel dome having members which follow three
      principal sets of great circles intersecting at
    60°, subdividing the dome surface into series of
             equilateral spherical triangles.




The more complex this system of triangles, the more spherical the
                        dome becomes.
izsd@yahoo.com


TYPES
    1. Struts:
        Struts are the force
        members in a geodesic
        dome that act in
        compressive and tensile
        forces to resist loading.

    2. Pins:
        The pins are used at vertices
        to hold the struts together.

    3. Substructure:
        The foundation transfers
        loads from the
        superstructure down into
        the earth.
