It depends on the kinds of stresses the structure is expected to resist. To resist cantilever stresses (bending - a combination of compression, tension, and sheer), the octet-truss is the strongest possible structure. To resist only tension a straight line, such as a cable, is the optimum structural geometry; and to resist only compression a lorimerlite framework is the strongest structural geometry.

The strongest structure is often considered to be the triangle due to its ability to distribute weight and stress evenly. Triangular shapes are commonly used in bridge and building construction to provide stability and support. Structures that incorporate triangles are known to be more resilient and less prone to collapse under pressure.
