Draycott and BullmenA define structure as:

"an organised combination of connected parts designed to carry loads and provide adequate rigidity."

HuntB in his text book defines structure as:

"the load-carrying part of all natural and man-made forms. It is the part which enables them to stand under their own weight and under the worst conditions of externally applied force."
