What is a system?

• Consist of individual member (parts) that are separated in pieces.

• Consist of individual member (parts) that are connected together to form a structure.

• A software to run on a computer

• A building

What is the characteristics of Mass Structure?

• Made by connecting individual parts (members).

• Rely on the weight of material for strength and support

• Create space and protect things inside the structure.

• Often made of thin materials such as sheet steel.

What is the characteristic of Framed Structure?

• Made by connecting individual parts (members).

• Rely on the weight of material for strength and support

• Create space and protect things inside the structure.

• Often made of thin materials such as sheet steel.

What is the characteristic of Shell Structure?

• Made by connecting individual parts (members).

• Rely on the weight of material for strength and support

• Create space and protect things inside the structure.

• Use a framework structure to provide a skeleton for the building

What is the purpose of a truss in construction?

• To provide aesthetic appeal to a structure.

• To support loads and distribute forces efficiently.

• To act as a decorative element in architecture.

• To reduce the overall weight of the structure.
