The first phase of a design is the development of a general layout that not only will satisfy the functional requirements, but also will permit a structure that will fit attractively into the site chosen.... Since the functional plan may be greatly influenced by the need to eliminate potential structural difficulties, as well as by the choice of materials and span lengths, the structural scheme is often profitably developed during the functional planning stage. 1, record 1, English, - functional%20plan

Structural scheme. The second major step in design procedure is the development of a structural scheme, or arrangement of members to support the applied loads. Since the functional plan may be greatly influenced by the need to eliminate potential structural difficulties, as well as by the choice of materials and span lengths, the structural scheme is often profitably developed during the functional planning stage. Tentative cost estimates of several possible structural layouts will suggest the most economical scheme. 1, record 2, English, - structural%20scheme
