Secondary construction

As the secondary structure is in the Structural that horizontal load-bearing structure (such as supporting walls or columns that form a wall bar) denotes that the static forces (also: effects ) overlying or moving permanent and non-permanent loads a projectile or superstructure to the underlying primary structure should record. It has the load-bearing and stiffening functions for the stability of the entire construction, and it includes all the components that serve this purpose . The static principles for the load-bearing capacity of the primary and secondary construction are identical.

The Romans already knew and considered how secondary structures work when designing and erecting their viaducts .
