• structure is a device for channeling
loads that result from the use and/or
presence of the building to the ground
– span a roof
– hold up a floor
– cross a river
– suspend a canopy

Structure Definition
• alternatively:
– “a physical entity having a unitary character that can be conceived of as an organization of positioned constituent elements in space in which the character of the whole dominates the interrelationship of the parts”

Structural Design Criteria
• components stay together
• structure acts as whole to be stable
– resist sliding
– resist overturning
– resist twisting and distortion
• internal stability
– interconnectedness
• strength & stiffness
