Why do architects and engineers use so many triangles in construction?

Triangles are rigid, quadrilaterals are not - a square can be "squashed" into rhombus.

Engineers or architects who design products or services are called?
In general, architects design buildings. Many (if not all) of these architects are actually architechual engineers (they have a degree in AE). Engineer is a more general title than AE. Not all products or services are created by AEs, though. And not all products and services are created by engineers.
What types of jobs use math?
There are many such as: maths teachers, accountants, engineers and architects.
What jobs pay over 100000 annually?
Suffolk County Police Dept in NY gets 100,000 a year - Aerospace Engineers - Mechanical Engineers - Architects (If your experienced) There are many more
What kinds of materials do engineers use to build walls?
There are many types of materials engineers use to build walls. Three possible construction materials are wood, brick, and concrete.
Who are the possible employers for this career for mechanical engineers?
Many civil engineers work for consulting firms. Their clients are often city governments who need help with their sewers and water systems. Companies hire them to deal with air polution as well as water and sewage problems. They work for architects and plan the technical details of construction. Some work as expert witnesses for lawyers. They design bridges and highways for all levels of government.
Do architects build or they just design?
Not all architects design buildings, some work in other aspects of the building construction such as project management. Some architects design furniture, but this is not usually covered in architectural training.
What do you call a person who plans and draws designs for buildngs?
A number of different professionals can be involved in the design of buildings and construction supervision. The design function is normally fulfilled by Architects and/or Engineers. Different engineers that can be involved include Civil (structural) Engineers and M&E (mechanical & electrical) Engineers amongst many other types. Sometimes a different person will be employed to design the interior of a building and can be called an Interior Architect or interior decorator. All these people can play a role in construction supervision, and sometimes a Project Manager or Construction Manager will be employed, depending upon the way the various contracts with the Owner are structured. Cost consultants, or Quantity Surveyors are also often involved.
What degree do you get to become an explosives engineer?
Depends. People that develop explosives are Chemical Engineers. People that design the USE of explosives may be Civil Engineers, or Mining Engineers. However, many everday users of explosives for mining and construction do not have a degree.
Why is the construction industry so important to the UK economy?
Construction creates a lot of jobs, both directly on construction sites but also in many other areas. These would include architects, building materials manufacturers and suppliers, local shops near building sites, estate agents and many others.
What is a good paying job besides a doctor?
There are many good paying jobs besides being in healthcare. Architects, computer technicians, managers and engineers all make good money.
How do architects use calculus?
Most architects do not use calculus. I would guess that very few even know what it is. Architects retain consulting engineers to design the structural, mechanical and electrical systems in their buildings, and even those engineers do not use calculus as a matter of course (Although, being trained in engineering, they are more likely to understand the concepts). Engineers do perform many calculations to determine the proper size and configuration of the various systems, but they normally base these calculations on standard formulas and published codes, and not on the direct use of derivatives or integrals. Insofar as the original formulas and codes may have been generated by calculus, you could say that the engineers benefit from from its prior use. Architects need only simple arithmetic for most of what they do. Of course, there are exceptions, ut it is a rare practicing architect who uses or even understands calculus.

Are structural engineers civil engineers also?
Civil engineers design things. These might be roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, or water supply and sewage systems. They must consider many factors in their designs, from the costs to making sure the structure will stay intact during bad weather. This is one of the oldest types of engineering.Many civil engineers manage people and projects. A civil engineer may oversee a construction site or be a city engineer. Others may work in design, construction, research, and teaching. There are many specialties within civil engineering, such as structural, construction, environment, and transportation.Civil engineers usually work in areas where there is lots of manufacturing and businesses. Often they work at construction sites. Sometimes they work in places that are far away from cities. Most engineers work at least 40 hours per week. Some are required to travel.
