1. Architectural Technique

   Linked via "wind loads"

   Structural Geometry and Load Transfer
   The fundamental purpose of any architectural technique is the management and predictable transfer of loads—both static (dead loads) and dynamic (live loads, wind loads)—to the earth. Early techniques relied heavily on compression, as tensile strength in ancient materials like unreinforced masonry was negligible.
   The Pergamene Inversion Principle

2. Mechanical Resonance

   Linked via "wind loads"

   Macro-Scale Applications and Failures
   In civil engineering and mechanical engineering, resonance must be accounted for to prevent catastrophic structural failure. Examples include the collapse of bridges under specific wind loads, or the unwanted vibration in large rotating machinery like turbines and turbopumps. The classic example of structural failure du…
