ARCH 213 Structural Systems Quiz

Post-and-Lintel = System with two upright members holding up a third member laid horizontally Bearing-Wall = System where the walls themselves support the applied loads Frame = System with interconnected structural components or members transferring loads Membrane = System utilizing tension and compression or shaped to experience pure tension or compression

Low-rise = Category for buildings with limited number of floors High-rise = Category for tall buildings with multiple floors Long-span = Category for buildings with column-free spaces of more than 30 metres Funicular = Category for structures shaped to experience either pure tension or pure compression

Cable structures = Example of a funicular structure Vaults and domes = Example of a funicular structure Colonnades = Example of Post-and-Lintel system in pure form Framed structures = Example of Post-and-Lintel system in practical application
