This lecture explains how to include a truss in a beam, focusing on the limitations and construction materials like reinforced concrete and steel. The instructor demonstrates the process of studying internal forces within a beam, highlighting the importance of effective depth and the distribution of stresses. The lecture also covers the behavior of reinforced concrete beams with various types of reinforcement and the behavior of steel beams under different loads.
