Plate

Front 1

rigid,planar, usually monolithic structures that disperses applied loads in a multi directional pattern, with the loads generally following the shortest in the stiffest routes of the supports

Back 1

Plate

Front 2

The manner in which an applied load is transmitted to the support on a plate in a multi-direction pattern

Back 2

Plate action

Front 3

Can be envision as a series of adjacent beams strips interconnected continuously along their length

Back 3

Plate

Front 4

Is transmitted to the support through bending of one beam strip, the load is distributed over the entire plate by shear transmitted from the deflected trip to adjacent strip

Back 4

Applied loads

Front 5

Plate extending as a structural unit over three or more support in a given direction. A continuous plate is subjected to lower bending moment then a series of discrete, simply supported lates

Back 5

Continuous plate

Front 6

A plate structure composed of thin,Deep Elements joined rigidly along their boundaries and forming a Sharp angles to brace each other against lateral buckling. The resulting stiffness of the cross section enable a folded plate to span relatively long distance

Back 6

Folded plate

Front 7

a plate reinforce by a grid of curved ribs that follow the isostatic structure

Back 7

Isostatic plate

Front 8

Lines for principals dress indicating the flow of bending stress and along which torsional shear stresses are zero

Back 8

Isostatic

Front 9

grid structure of beams or flat trusses running obliquely to the sides of the base rectangle in order to equalize their spans and stiffness. The shorts spans at the corners result in additional stiffness

Back 9

skew grid

Front 10

a vaulted roof compose of lamellae forming a crisscross pattern of a parallel arches,skewed with respect to the side of the covered space

Back 10

lamella roof

Front 11

one of the relatively short timber, metal, or reinforced concrete elements forming a lamella roof

Back 11

lamella

Front 12

Three-dimensional structure Frame based on the rigidity of the triangle and composed of linear elements subject only to axial tension or compression. The simplest spatial unit of a space frame is tetrahedron having four joins in six structural members. as with plate structures, the supporting bay for a space frame should be square or nearly square to ensure that it acts as a two way structure. Also called space truss

Space frame

Front 13

A framework for crisscrossing beam connected at their intersection by rigid joint and dispersing an applied loads in two direction according to the physical properties and dimensions of the beam element
