“…The main structure of the octagon was built around 1334, and has thus stood for two-thirds of the millennium; and is twice as old as this journal, the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society! Despite this, Wade & Heyman (1985), in a careful examination of the structure, described it as`an architectural masterpiece, but it was, in its original form, something of a structural mistake'.…”

Symmetry is a common attribute of both natural and engineering structures. Despite this, the application of symmetry arguments to some of the basic concepts of structural mechanics is still a novelty. This paper shows some of the insights into structural mechanics that can be obtained through careful symmetry arguments, and will show how these can provide a key to understanding the paradoxical behaviour of some symmetric structures.
