Question

why is the triangle the strongest shape used in construction

Answer 1

structures mainly because of their ability to bear large loads without. deformation. They are considered the strongest shape because a triangular structure subject to strong forces only collapses due to material fatigue and not to geometric distortion.

Answer 2

 

Triangles are the building blocks of many structures mainly because of their ability tobear large loads without deformation. They are considered the strongest shapebecause a triangular structure subject to strong forces only collapses due to materialfatigue and not to geometric distortion. It is easier to understand why triangles are sostrong when compared to a square or rectangular structure.
