The impacts of structural systems are all around us from the moment we
wake up. Houses and apartments provide shelter. Offices and factories are
the workplaces for many people. Sports centers and playgrounds and parks
provide recreational outlets. Medical centers and hospitals give us medical
care. Streets and highways provide the conduit to enable many of us to
travel. Whether we are working, resting or playing all these activities
involve the use of a structural system of one form or another.
This objective (5.01) builds on Objective 1.01 to investigate the major
impacts (positive and negative) of structural systems on society and the
environment as well as the expected and unexpected consequences. Also to
be considered are the trade-offs to determine if the structural system is for
the best. One can also notice the effects of structural systems immediately
as well as long term sometimes taking years to notice the effects of structural
systems.
