Triangles are only strong in comparison to other shapes, like squares or circles. Seriously circles are WEAK.

*********

It depends on the type of load.

If the load is a force aplied on a corner of the triangle, then the triangle can "efficiently" transmit this force to its base.

But if, for example, the load is internal pressure, then the triagle, as well as any shape with straight lines, will fail. For internal pressure the ideal shape is the circle.
