  2. Structural material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_material

    Composite materials are used increasingly in vehicles and aircraft structures, and to some extent in other structures. They are increasingly used in bridges, especially for conservation of old structures such as Coalport cast iron bridge built in 1818. Composites are often anisotropic (they have different material properties in different ...

  3. Form (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_(architecture)

    Historically, multiple approaches were suggested to address the reflection of the structure in the appearance of the architectural form. In the 19th-century Germany, Karl Friedrich Schinkel suggested that the structural elements shall remain visible in the forms to create a satisfying feeling of strength and security, [3] while Karl Bötticher as part of his "tectonics" suggested splitting the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuff_Matters

    Stuff Matters: Exploring the Marvelous Materials That Shape Our Man-Made World is a 2014 non-fiction book by the British materials scientist Mark Miodownik. The book explores many of the common materials people encounter during their daily lives and seeks to explain the science behind them in an accessible manner. Miodownik devotes a chapter ...

  5. Girt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girt

    The girt is commonly used as a stabilizing element to the primary structure (e.g. column, post). Wall cladding fastened to the girt, or a discrete bracing system which includes the girt, can provide shear resistance, in the plane of the wall, along the length of the primary member.

  6. Layered materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layered_materials

    Titanium disulfide is an example of a layered material. The individual sheets are interconnected by van der Waals forces between the sulfide centers.. In material science, layered materials are solids with highly anisotropic bonding, in which two-dimensional sheets are internally strongly bonded, but only weakly bonded to adjacent layers. [1]

  7. Structural steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

    Companies rely on the ability to turn a profit for any construction project, as do the designers. The price of raw materials (steel, cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, lumber for form-work, etc.) is constantly changing. If a structure could be constructed using either material, the cheapest of the two will likely control.

  8. Structural integrity and failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_integrity_and...

    Collapsed barn at Hörsne, Gotland, Sweden Building collapse due to snow weight. Structural integrity and failure is an aspect of engineering that deals with the ability of a structure to support a designed structural load (weight, force, etc.) without breaking and includes the study of past structural failures in order to prevent failures in future designs.

  9. Sandwich-structured composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich-structured_composite

    1) In materials science, a sandwich-structured composite is a special class of composite materials that is fabricated by attaching two thin-but-stiff skins to a lightweight-but-thick core. The core material is normally of low strength, but its greater thickness provides the sandwich composite with high bending stiffness with overall low density.
