| Structural analysis
|
|
Evaluation of the dimensions of a building to determine its ability to meet the needs of the occupant. |
| Structural attachment
|
|
An attachment, appended to an object, to help carry some of the load placed on that object. |
| Structural block

| Structural clay tile

|
Fired clay block tiles that are durable, fireproof, lightweight, etc. but that are not used as often as concrete block. |
| Structural composite panels
|
|
Consist of veneer faces bonded to a wood-base core material, such as OSB. Composite panels are manufactured in three- or five-layer arrangements. A three-layer panel has a wood fiber core and a veneer face and back, while a five-layer panel also has a veneer crossband in the center. When manufactured in a one-step pressing operation, voids in the veneers are filled automatically by the particles or strands as the panel is pressed in the bonding process. Typical composite panel applications include sheathing, siding and industrial applications. |
| Structural composite plywood panel
|
|
Plywood panels with a core of flakeboard, and tongue and groove edges, which is used as sub-flooring because it is less expensive than regular plywood. |
| Structural defects
|
|
Cracks or laminations in the tile body which detract from the aesthetic appearances and/or structural soundness of the installation. |
