Building Technology III: Beams

This lecture covers the analysis of beams, including the influence of geometric parameters, moments, and deformations. It also discusses different types of beams such as simple beams, cantilever beams, and continuous beams. The lecture explores the distribution of internal forces in beams, the concept of superposition, and the testing of reinforced concrete beams. Additionally, it examines the impact of effective height and width on beam load capacity, as well as the use of consoles to enhance beam efficiency. The lecture concludes with a summary of common construction ratios and design considerations for structures with beams and walls.
