Within a structure, an element cannot be broken down (decomposed) into parts of different kinds.

Structural elements can be linear, surfaces or volumes.

Linear elements:
  • Rod - axial loads
  • Beams - 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
  • decks
  • shear panel - shear loads only
