I gave you a good answer del, The original poster apparently didn;'t like your response.

Dear original poster:

WHAT is the context?

Building, bridge, ship?

A well posted question will have some basic facts that themselves giove context as to what you may possibly be trying to accopmplish:

WHat is the Project?

WHat materials, processes, finances applications etc.

Where is it?

Bridgitte bardot had a wonderful superstructure, in my mind?

We will be happy to assist, if you could give us some simple facts with which to try to understand your query.

OK, OK. Put the steel (super) on top of the foundation (sub).

Generally, the superstructure sits on top of the substructure.
