You need to know the different type of forces acting on the member of a structure.
In summary,
1. A compression / compressive force will cause a member of structure to be squashed. The member that is in compression is called a strut.
2. A tension / tensile force cause a member of structure to be stretched. The member that is in tension is called a tie.
3. A torsion / torsional force cause a member to be twisted.
4. A shear force cause a member to slide/tilt to a side.
