STRUCTURES

 WHAT IS AN STRUCTURE?


 An structure can be anything that supports, holds or connects something. I usually say that is the basis or the key of something, if you look around you nearly every thing has or it's an structure, for example if you are in your house and you go to your kitchen you can see the microwave, it's an structure, then if you watch the TV, you can see there airplanes, they are structures, buildings...


The structures can be used for:

To hold things: there are a lot of structures that hold things they have to be elaborated to hold so many weight.

To construct: every building, bridge and other constructions need to have an structure to support the weight of the construction.

As a house: all the animals and humans construct or have an structure that they use as a house.

-MAN-MADE STRUCTURES:

Types:

a) Massive or Lintelled: needs a large amount of material

c)  Lattice: contains a foundation, a floor, beams and pillars.

d) Triangulated: it contains triangles.

e) Suspended: uses cables to support it.

e) Geodesic: contains three dimensional figures.

That's one of my favourite structures, I think is a geodesic structure. It's amazing and the landscape around too. It is located in Asia.

FORCES:

1. COMPRESSION: The act of pushing.

METALS

      METALS A material that can be in a solid or a liquid state and usually has a lot of electrical conductivity, one of the material properties. A good example of a metal it's gold. They are classified in two types ferrous and non-ferrous . Types of Metals 1.FERROUS METALS: they contain iron . Ferrous metals can be picked up by a magnet,they are not resistant to rusting. Some examples of ferrous metals are: a) Cast Iron : used to make frying pans. The principal properties of cast iron are:  - Resistance to corrosion - Hardness - Strength b)Carbon Steel: used in tools.  The proerties of carbon steel change depending on the number of carbon that contains. The general properties that nearly all share is: - Strength and ductility (as higher is the number of carbon content the strength grows and ductility is lower.)  -Strong metal - Resists to compression c)Mild Steel: used in building car bodies, gat

ALL ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Maria Antònia. I'm thirteen years old and i live in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar.I like reading books, listening to music and watching movies. I love travelling. I don't have pets because i'm allergic. I'm likeable, funny and responsible. In a future i want to go to a university. Since i was little i want to be a journalist, my dream is to write in a newspaper.  I think the classes of technology are going to be funny but difficult because i'm not handy. And i know that we are going to learn to work in group and to learn to be more handy. The best technological object for me is the mobile,  because it helps us to communicate with other  people around the world, you can look at  the internet and search for information, and the best thing is that you can take it with you.
