, FRAME STRUCTURES
→open structure consisting of several sections (parts) [also “HOODS”]


ROOF CAPS:
→FRAME STRUCTURES SUPPORTING THE ROOFS OF HOUSES
FORCES:
[wood / steel]

DESIGNS:
>press on a part by
PRESSING it TOGETHER

[PRESSURE = BRACKET]




>”traction” > stretch
PARTS OF A ROOF CAP:
[VOLTAGE = BINT]




push or turn under tension




ROOF BEAMS Solid parts on which the roof is attached to
the hood
MAIN STAND Support the upper part of the roof beams
(MAIN Hanging style > used on roof trusses of
STYLE) buildings with long spans to support beams
DRAW BARS 1. Often used to fasten the lower parts of
the rafters to the rafters on the other side
so that the roof does not topple over

, STRUCTURES OVER A DISTANCE
STRUCTURAL FAILURE:
→when structures fail, collapse or
Reinforcement of STRUCTURES: break due to poor design, weak
materials or joints
→PILLARS / COLUMNS
STRONG, SOLID, STABLE = SAFE
> VERTICAL structural components (support beams, STRUCTURE [3 x S's]
weight distributed to beams) Structures fail due to:

→BEAMS [BEAMS] Z Lack of strength/firmness
Z Wrong base size
> a strong HORIZONTAL structural member used to
Z Bending
support weight; usually over a distance [lintels = wood /
Z Overturning (no stability,
