300
This structures main function. 
What is sheltering/holding?
300
The force that acts to slide parts of an object past each in opposite directions.

What is terrain conditions?
400
The pleasing or appearance or effect something has due to its design.
What is aesthetics. 
400
This type of force is not permanent and moves or changes over time.
What is a dynamic/live load?
400
Taking inspiration from nature to solve human problems.
What is Biomimicry?
400
The force that occurs when the surface of one object moves against the surface of another object.
What is friction?
400
Constantly observing how frequently a structure fails and why.
What is monitoring?
500
This type of structure is not made by humans.
What is natural structures?
500
This permanent change occurs when there is repeated stress on a structure due internal forces.
What is structural fatigue?
500
This type of bridge is formed from many triangles called _________.
What are trusses?
500
Finding a similar material that is easier to find is an example of this type of material consideration.
What is availability?
500
The reasonable limits within which a structure's safety performance is felt to be acceptable.
What is margin of safety?
