LEONARDO DA VINCI STRUCTURES




Structure is a set of different items with the objective to suport loads
The structures keep the shape unde the force of gravity, the wind or any other force.
A example of structure is a human skeleton, bycycles...

Types of forces

These loads can stretch, shorten, or bend. Then we say that these items works traction (tight), compresion (pilar) or flexion (beam).

A way to khown this in a structure is making an imáginary cut .

There two more forces: shear and torsion.

           -  Shear is force that try to cut the objets.

            - Torsion is a force that try to turn the element.

Types of structures:

        - Frame structures. It is the most commoon of structure. It have a lot of elements joind to each other. It is empty. Example is a bycicle or a house

           - Shell structures. This structure have a thin outes layer of material. And example is a egg or a 
            - Arch. The geometry of arch displaces the formces to the sides, so that there is a large free space under it. Example is a bride.

            - Mix and match. In this case we combine different types of structure. Exemples of this are Moderm house or building.
            - Mass structures. It have a lot of materials. Examples is a Dams (presas) or sandcastles.
            - Suspension structures. It have element like beam, like cables, columns...Examples are Bridges.

Types of unions.
            - Permanent unions: welding, rivets, (remaches) or glue
            - Non-permanent unions: nuts and bolts or clamps (abrazadera)


in our classroom we are going to work with Leonardo Structures. Now you can see it.

ARCHITECTURE, ART, HISTORY and GEOMETRY WORKSHOP.

Imagen
Introduction.      In this workshop we are going to build different domes with the same wooden profile following geometric patterns.      First we will practice with small profiles and at the end with large profiles like the one in the attached photograph. Goals: - To Know the principles of architecture. - To Study how to distribute the weights in a dome - To Make different architectural configurations. Methodology:      Initial activity:      We start by making a circle with all the participants standing, we turn while making the circle smaller and smaller and everyone approaches. We put our hands on the shoulders of what is in front of us.      Now, little by little, we can flex until we are completely seated on the knees of the partner behind us, while the partner in front is seated on our knees.      If we do it carefully and in a coordinated way we will not fall and we ...
