framed+structures

The ultimate purpose of building techniques is to create a stable structure. Structures are stable when all their parts are in a state of equilibrium. The forces that have to be controlled in order to maintain it are tension and compression, they tend to push or pull bodies in a given direction.

Framed structures are the example of an applied technique that is supported mainly by a skeleton or frame, this structure is able to stand by itself as a rigid structure without depending on floors or walls to resist deformation. Materials such as wood, steel, and reinforced concrete, which are strong in both tension and compression, make the best members for framing.
