In engineering and construction, podtrzymujace elements are components that bear loads and help transfer them to primary structural members. Such elements include braces, struts, ties, and other supports that provide vertical or lateral stability. They are essential for maintaining the integrity of frames, scaffolding, bridges, and similar constructions, preventing deformation and failure under load.

In architecture and design, the concept of supporting components appears in the same way, referring to structural members that hold or stabilize assemblies. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe elements that sustain a system, project, or process.

The ASCII form Podtrzymujace is commonly seen in plain text, data sets, or software that cannot display diacritics.
