STRUCTURE

« The houses will be able to fly [by 2000]. There will come a time when entire communities may migrate south in the winter, or move to new territories whenever they feel the need to change the landscape »

Arthur Charles Clarke

It defines structure a body that, throughout the period of its useful life, to ensure the pre-established performance levels, is subject to a system of forces in equilibrium, but applied at different points, while defining structural element a portion of said body whose real behavior, generally very complex, however, is expressible by means of direct formulas, characteristics of a simple model, commonly referred to as finite element.

In structural design is important first to evaluate the seismic response in relation to the site. The measures to be adopted to ensure the stability of the buildings against seismic action are variable depending on the degree of seismic activity in the area set by the regulations for the entire national territory.
