Abstract
The paper gives a broad overview of the stability of structure. Stability is a fundamental aspect in order to ensure the safety of structure against collapse. There are two essential requirements of a structure: equilibrium and stability. It is rare for either to be maintained without the other. Stability is necessary to resist horizontal loads. There is a strong correlation between a structure’s resistance to horizontal loads and its overall stability. If a structure is resistant to lateral loads, it is likely to be enough to provide overall stability under vertical loads.
