In Building structures there are many things to think of. You must know how strong you have to build the structure and also how much weight it must hold. It has to be very strong in order to hold up through the weather and threw the years it is being used. The things a structure goes threw is the thing people think about when designing the structure. Shape, weight, and how much the material will cost to buy. There are many different types of material used in building a structure. There is a choice on how strong the building has to be in order to stay standing. The materials they use are wood, cement, steel, plastic, brick, and stone. The safety of these materials depend on how they are used in building. If anyone uses any of these in the wrong way it probable will not stand for very long. Wood is the safest natural made object that is used in making a structure. It is a material that is strong in tension and in compression (Salvadori 26). Wood can hold a lot of weight since most houses are built from wood. Wood will most likely be used for hundreds of years because it is so widely available. People will use wood because it is low in cost compared to any of the other materials used in building. Cement is one of the materials used in the construction of the structure of a building.
