La Ley de Hooke: Fundamentos de la Elasticidad en Estructuras y su Relevancia en la Arquitectura

This systematic documentary review examines the critical role of Hooke's Law in understanding the elasticity of various materials, an essential aspect of architectural design. The significance of this topic lies in the direct impact that the relationship between elasticity and structures has on the durability and stability of buildings. The primary objective is to analyze how Hooke's Law applies to commonly used construction materials and to evaluate its practical relevance in real-world contexts. The findings demonstrate that a progressive understanding of elasticity can enhance material selection and design, optimizing structural functionality and safety. Hooke's Law is not only vital for predicting material behavior under load but also fundamental for anticipating how external forces affect dimensions and stability over time. This predictive capability is particularly important for ensuring long-term structural integrity. Incorporating a solid understanding of Hooke's Law into architectural practice can drive innovations in structural engineering. This emphasizes the importance of physical principles in developing effective and sustainable solutions for contemporary architectural design. By integrating these concepts, architects and engineers can create resilient structures that meet modern challenges while promoting efficiency and durability.
