Abstract


We can distinguish rather precisely between the aspects of structural comportment dues to it's form, to it's proportions, from those dues to it's size. By the analysis of structures in their size's limits (supporting only their own's weight), and with the use of the slenderness, scope of the material, scope of the structure, and structure quantity of the "unit structure" concepts, we can delimit those aspects. Thus, in structures far from the size's limit that can be adscribed to it's class, the relations of the form are dominants in their comportement. In structures where the size is a high fraction of that limit, these concepts allow to evaluate with quickness and elegance the fractions of strehgth employed in supporting the structure's own weight, or any additional load.
