The students of 2nd ESO work the triangular structures

TRIANGULATION OF STRUCTURES. There are many structures that are formed by triangles joined together. This type of structures, which acquire great rigidity, have many applications.

The triangle is the only polygon that does not deform when a force acts on it • Any other geometric shape adopted by the elements of a structure will not be rigid or stable until it is trianguled.

Scaffolds are used in the scaffolding of the construction, which triangulate the overall structure and give it rigidity • Next, you can see how a square and a pentagon can be converted into rigid structures.

In conclusion, the triangle is one of the geometric figures most used in the construction of buildings because it has the property of maintaining its shape when a force is applied to it.
