A very hard and strong alloy and carbon.

a structure of planks or plates, approximately horizontal, extending across a ship or boat at any of various levels

a structure leading out from the shore into a body of water, in particular.

a thick rope of wire or nonmetallic fiber, typically used for construction, mooring ships, and towing vehicles.

an upright pillar, typically cylindrical and made of stone or concrete, supporting an entablature, arch, or other structure or standing alone as a monument.

a framework, typically consisting of rafters, posts, and struts, supporting a roof, bridge, or other structure.

In a plate girder bridge, the plate girders are typically I-beams made up from separate structural steel plates

a structure built to support the lateral pressure of an arch or span, e.g., at the ends of a bridge.

a hole or recess cut into a part, designed to receive a corresponding projection (a tenon) on another part so as to join or lock the parts together.

a projecting piece of wood made for insertion into a mortise in another piece.

a framework consisting of a horizontal beam supported by two pairs of sloping legs, used in pairs to support a flat surface such as a tabletop.

In construction, cross bracing is a system utilized to reinforce building structures in which diagonal supports intersect.

(of a straight line) joining two opposite corners of a square, rectangle, or other straight-sided shape.

(of figures) identical in form; coinciding exactly when superimposed.

obtuse angle is more than 90 degrees but less then 180 degrees.

Lines are parallel if they are always the same distance apart (called "equidistant"), and will never meet.

The segment AB is perpendicular to the segment CD because the two angles it creates (indicated in orange and blue) are each 90 degrees.

an angle of 90°, as in a corner of a square or at the intersection of two perpendicular straight lines.

a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides.

a long, sturdy piece of squared timber or metal spanning an opening or part of a building, usually to support the roof or floor above.
