The objective of this paper is to help to make decision of the appropriate structural types in long span structured building due to range of span. For the intention, based on 7 forces of structural element, it is analized the relationships among 6 configurations of structural element(d/1), 25 structural types, 4 materials, and span-length known with 186 sample from 1850 to 1996. 1) bending forces: $club(1/100{sim}1/10),;plate(1/100{sim}1/10),;rahmen(steel,;10{sim}24m);simple;beam(PC,;10{sim}35m)$ 2) shearing forces: $shell(1/100{sim}1/1000);hyperbolic;paraboloids(RC,25{sim}97m)$ 3) shearing+bending forces: plate, folded $plate(RC21{sim}59m)$ 4) compression axial forces: club, $arch(RC,;32{sim}65m)$ 5) compression+tension forces: shell, braced dome $shell(RC,;40{sim}201m),;vault;shell(RC,;16{sim}103m)$ 6) compression+tension axial forces: $rod(1/1000{sim}1/100)$, cable(below 1/1000)+rod, coble+rod+membrane(below 1/1000), planar $truss(steel,;31{sim}134m),;arch;truss(31{sim}135m),;horizontal;spaceframe(29{sim}10;8m),;portal;frame(39{sim}55m),;domical;space;truss(44{sim}222m),;framed;;membrane(45{sim}110m),;hybrid;;membrane;(42{sim}256m)$ 7) tension forces: cable, membrane, $suspension(60{sim}150m),;cable;;beam(40{sim}130m),;tensile;membrane(42{sim}136m),;cable;-slayed(25{sim}90m),;suspension;membrane(24{sim}97m),;single;layer;pneumatic;structure(45{sim}231m),;double;layer;pneumatic;structures(30{sim}44m)$
