Construction Area
A set of structural elements which form the horizontal or inclined plane between beams or structural walls
that allow the use, the traffic over them and provides the support of finishes and enclosures of a building.

Resistance (STRENGTH):
In order to maintain its properties while its subjected to certain actions (adm Vs stress).
Stability:
In order to avoid tipping caused by horizontal actions (wind, seismic). Different strategies are
possible according to the structural system. (See lecture notes 1st year).
Construction II
Compatibility:
Deformations, dimensional and chemical variation of building elements and materials must be
compatible, for the expected use and during the expected working life of the building.
Durability:
To withstand maintaining its shape and strength, for the duration of its designed service life,
the action of the environment, the physical, chemical and biological conditions to which it is
