This lecture explores Vierendeel beams, a type of structure where the vertical members lack diagonal bracing. The instructor discusses the design principles, detailing, and comparison with truss structures. Through examples like the Beringen canal bridge and St-Sulpice building, the lecture illustrates the practical applications and deformation characteristics of Vierendeel beams.
