Highlights of the Structural Models

Various forces act on architecture.
Because gravity acts on the earth, architecture is subject to loads of people, furniture, snow, wind, earthquakes, water, soil pressure, and its own weight.
These forces act in the direction of gravity (vertical) and the lateral (horizontal) direction due to earthquakes, typhoons, and other events.
What measures are taken to withstand these forces and maintain structural stability?
Let’s take a look at the flow of forces using structural models!
