Flexural and Compressive Stiffness Explained

The document discusses load-bearing biological structures and how they derive their strength from a hierarchical structure combining biominerals and proteins. It also mentions that early human structures were often solid masses or two-dimensional due to technological limitations, whereas modern structures can be one-, two-, or three-dimensional and employ a variety of composite materials.
