This lecture covers the design and analysis of arc-and-cable structures, focusing on the combination of arcs and cables to counteract horizontal thrusts. The instructor presents various subsystems, such as cantilevered cable arches and continuous arc-and-cable systems, emphasizing the equilibrium of networks of bars. The lecture also discusses support reactions, funicular polygons, and the resolution of forces in arc-and-cable structures.
