Structural

planar structural element that carry vertical load including its own weight; typically used in building floors, roofs, and ceilings

• Slab

• Slab-on-grade or “SOG” (grade slab)

• One-way slab

• Two-way slab

• Cantilever slab

slab directly cast on ground level

• Slab

• Slab-on-grade or “SOG” (grade slab)

• One-way slab

• Two-way slab

• Cantilever slab

supported in two opposite edges, the load is carried along one direction

• Slab

• Slab-on-grade or “SOG” (grade slab)

• One-way slab

• Two-way slab

• Cantilever slab

supported in all four edges, the load is carried in both directions.

• Slab

• Slab-on-grade or “SOG” (grade slab)

• One-way slab

• Two-way slab

• Cantilever slab

supported only on one side.

• Slab

• Slab-on-grade or “SOG” (grade slab)

• One-way slab

• Two-way slab

• Cantilever slab

longitudinal structural element oriented vertically that carries compressive loads

• Column

• Shear wall

• Beam

• Tie Beam

• Foundation

wall-like structural element that resists lateral loads; they are like reinforced walls

• Column

• Shear wall

• Beam

• Tie Beam

• Foundation

a structural element, typically horizontal, that carries load in the lateral direction; resists shear and bending action

• Column

• Shear wall

• Beam

• Tie Beam

• Foundation

a beam that connects or “ties” two or more columns together, particularly where columns are slender to reduce their effective length and prevent buckling

• Column

• Shear wall

• Beam

• Tie Beam

• Foundation

the part that transfers the load of the structure to the ground underneath; maybe classified into shallow and deep _________.

• Column

• Shear wall

• Beam

• Tie Beam
