Famous structures

Tap the parts in the order the weight travels, from where it lands down to the ground. Then say which parts are squeezed and which are stretched.

Case files

Four structures where the load path broke. Each one cost lives and changed how engineers work. There are no points here: find where it failed, then read what the investigation found.

Every Building Has a Load Path

These are famous examples, simplified for learning. On a real project, a licensed engineer checks that every load has a safe path to the ground, including when one part is lost.
