4 different loads
|
1. TENSION (tent)

different strengths for common materials
(wood, steel, brick, and reinforced concrete) |
wood: tension and compression >> bending
steel: tension and compression >> bending brick: compression so baring structures reinforced concrete: steel for tension and concrete for compression |
