In the process of building, a mechanical principles like newtons first law is important to consider as it affects how things move and how forces work in their movement. An example of how newtons firsts law affects a building is that when an earthquake occurs or strong winds happens, it impacts the buildings structure and capability to keep up as it puts pressure on the foundations and materials may break or weaken. As a result to there are many factors that would need to be considered to prevent buildings collapsing

Mechanical principles play a crucial role in designing walls and foundations to withstand seismic and volcanic forces. Buildings built within volcanic regions, impose direct forces on buildings. To resist these forces, walls must be designed to handle both vertical and horizontal loads. The mechanical solutions could be to use shear walls which are created to withstand lateral forces which will prevent the building from swaying or collapsing.

Case Study – in Ecuador, buildings are constructed with volcanic materials like pumice for insulation. Shear walls combined with flexible roof designs are capable of absorbing shocks and tremors. These techniques help structures withstand both seismic forces and volcanic eruptions.

mechanic principles cover the basics of things that need to be considered in order for the building to be structurally stable including the 3 different energies and forces that is crucial to be considered during the design, construction and completion of the building. some of these forces include the forces pushing down on the foundations of the build and the weight of the building wanting to rip it apart where the materials have been joined together. these need to be taken into account to ensure the building is safe to be used and there is no risk of it collapsing or a failure. if these were not accounted for or ignored in the design and construction it could cause the building to be unsafe or collapse

Mechanical Principles are important in the building process. For example, The Conservation of Energy is Required knowledge when planning to construct dwellings, it will assist in finalising the materials that will be used, in order to maximise the energy retention that the building holds, and reduces how much is lost to the surrounding areas as thermal energy.

An example of mechanical principles is the load distribution on the Vettese stadium stand on the. An overcrowding occurred on the stand since the gate was pushed open. Due to the overload of fans on the stand an excess of weight was on the concrete adding compressive strength, more than recommended, this caused it to bend.

Below the stand that collapsed was a void, seating more fans where many were injured, supporting the second floor/suspended floor on the stadium were supports, the overload of fans were located between supports as well as on, this was the stadiums weakest point and failed. Even though the concrete was steel enforced it was not designed to support the weight.

Mechanical principles are important within the building process because if CAD drawings weren't understood or the architects on the project were unaware or unable to use Computer Aided Design, then the project would not be as accurate and also time consuming. CAD drawings have became very popular in design and are standard to todays date, they are split into 2d and 3d which is a process of Building Information Modelling (BIM), which is increasingly required by law in various locations. These different methods are used with auto CAD. However if an architect was unable to use CAD drawings, it would negatively impact the ongoing project. As an example of this, in the automotive industry, CAD software is essential for designing complex vehicle components. In the 1990's certain car manufacturers expirienced delays in bringing new models to market because they had to transition manual drawings to CAD this is because teams weren't fully trained or adapted to CAD so they struggled to meet deadlines.

Another example is in a historic building restoration, projects rely on 3D CAD modelling for accuracy but delays occurred when the primary architect was unfamiliar with CAD and couldn't transfer the original plans to modern technology so his lack of skills slowed the process down.

This shows the importance of mechanical principles, especially CAD drawings because without them, deadlines are not met or the task becomes near enough impossible to do if the skill set is not there or teams haven't been trained or had time to adapt to new technology.

Mechanical principles are important for electricity in buildings. Clients will refuse to live or work in buildings without the needed electricity in the building. Mechanical electricity provides light, warmth and security in the construction environment. Even basic things like hand drills cannot perform without the proper electricity. Massive machines and vehicles need the proper electricity to perform in the construction environment. Recently, during the Paris Olympics there was a power outrage, causing aa chaotic breakdown in France, without electricity the world cannot cope. As the charges that cause the energy are moving, electrical energy is a form of kinetic energy. Lighting and batteries are an example of electrical energy in action. Lighting is essential for the building process. Potential energy is needed to withstand the forces acting upon the building like wind. You need more energy to move a charge further in the electric field, but also more energy to move it through a stronger electric field.

Mechanical Science Principles are important in the building process as they ensure the structural integrity, functionality, and safety of a structure. The effectiveness of a structure depends on the mechanical properties of the materials from which it is constructed such as Strength and Toughness. As a case study with this the Burj Khalifa is a good example as the challenge of this could be that the building has to withstand the weight of the building and other forces such as the wind. The Engineers making the building used the buttressed core system. This design used three wings arranged in a Y-shape to provide stability and distribute loads. Applying principles of structural mechanics ensured that the building could withstand extreme conditions while maintaining safety. Mechanical science principles like thermodynamics and fluid mechanics contributed to efficient systems for cooling, water distribution, and energy use. Innovative use of material science and fluid dynamics supported the integration of eco-friendly practices.

Mechanical principles takes into consideration all the different energies and forces which a building may face, during or after completion of the build. Such as the forces acting down on the ground, which will determine the depth and strength required for it, or the material required for a certain aspect of the build, which would be considered due to the amount of stress it has to hold up, such as steel being used in a high rise building rather than wood, as it can take on a lot more weight.

mechanical principles are important here is an example: The collapse of the Hyatt regency walkway (1981). two suspended walkways collapsed in the hotels atrium killing 114 people. this event was due to stress analysis, structural load distribution and failure to account for design changes. the combined mass of the people walking along the walkway caused the steel connections to fail.

Mechanical principles are important as for the different weight bearings, stress loads and stress loads. This is important as when making a tree house as it needs to support its own weight and those who entre it, also the strength of the wood when being bolted into the tree and how strong the wood needs to be to support the weight above. With having supports spread evenly to allow maximum weight distribution to withstand different forces

Mechanical principles are crucial for engineers, designers, and anyone interested in the mechanics of motion and force this helps the architecture design the building so it withstand the elements so the building does not collapse, mechanical machines operate on basic principles that involve converting force and energy.

Simple machines such as levers, inclined planes, wheels, axles, pulleys, screws, and wedges are the building blocks of more complex machinery.
