The structural stress-strain analysis where a material deforms under load, or it can refer to a specific architectural component, such as a straining piece or straining arch. Strain is a measure of deformation, and straining pieces provide stability to a structure, while a straining arch helps resist thrusts in systems like flying buttresses. (Kremer, 2025)
