34.

List the three classification of structures

4 lines
35.

.

(a)   are structures that rely wholly on their weight and the weight of the materials used to make them to resist pressure or external force

36.

.

These are structures that are made using very thin layers of materials called sheets.

(a)  

37.

.

These are structures that are made by connecting individual parts (called members) together to form a rigid structure that is capable of supporting more load and resisting higher pressure without deflecting

too much..

(a)  

38.

These are vertical structural members used to support beams. They are designed to resist compression, bending and twisting.
