Pronunciation & Spelling
structure, infrastructure, substructure, and restructure all end with /strʌktʃər/, so they rhyme with the final part of superstructure. Picture and lecture share the -ture spelling and final /tʃər/, but their stressed vowels differ, so they do not rhyme. Beware lookalikes such as instruction and construction: they contain struct but are pronounced with /strʌk/ and a different ending.
