Building Structures: Design and Analysis

This lecture covers the design and analysis of building structures, focusing on elements such as walls, concrete columns, and floor slabs. It discusses different types of construction materials and their properties, as well as the principles of structural stability and load-bearing capacity. The instructor explains the process of pre-dimensioning building elements and the factors to consider when choosing the appropriate dimensions. Additionally, the lecture addresses the concept of acceptable slenderness ratios and their impact on the structural performance of buildings.
