Structural element




Structural elements are used in structural analysis to split a complex structure into simple elements. Within a structure, an element cannot be broken down (decomposed) into parts of different kinds (e.g., beam or column).[1]


Structural elements can be lines, surfaces or volumes.[2]


Line elements:




  • Rod - axial loads


  • Beam - axial and bending loads


  • Struts or Compression members- compressive loads


  • Ties, Tie rods, eyebars, guy-wires, suspension cables, or wire ropes - tension loads


Surface elements:




  • membrane - in-plane loads only


  • shell - in plane and bending moments

    • Concrete slab

    • deck




  • shear panel - shear loads only


Volumes:


  • Axial, shear and bending loads for all three dimensions
