Structure of BulidingsA building is closely bound up with people, for it provides peoplewith the necessary space to work and live in. As classified by their use,buildings are mainly of two types: industrial buildings and civil buildings are used by various factories or industrial productionwhile civil buildings are those that are used by people for dwelling,employment, education and other social construction of industrial buildings is the same as that of civilbuildings. However, industrial and civil buildings differ in the materialused, and in the structure forms or systems they are only the engineering essentials, the structure of abuilding can be difined as the assemblage of those parts which exist forthe purpose of maintaining shape and stability. Is primy purpose is toresist any loads applied to the building and to transmit those to the terms of architecture, the structue of a building is and dose muchmore than that. It is an inseparable part of the building form to varyingdegrees is a generator of that form. Used skillfully, the building structurecan establish or reinforce orders and rhythms among the architecturevolumes and planes. It can be visually dominant or recessive. It candevelop harmonies or conflicts. It can be both confining and , unfortunately in some cases, it cannot be ingored. It is structure must also be engineered to maintain the architectureform. The principles and tools of physics teand mathematics provide thebasis for differentiating between rational and inrational forms in terms ofconstruction. Artists can sometimes generate shapes that obviate anyconsideration of science, but architects are at least three items that must be present in the structure ofa building: stabily, strength and stiffness, the first of the three requiements, it is obvious that stabilityis needed to maintain shape. An unstable building structure impli
