This lecture covers the design and construction of metal structures, focusing on the compromise between large spans for exploitation and small spans for economy. It discusses different types of breakdowns, sectors, spans, and static systems, including isostatic and hyperstatic examples. The presentation also includes patented truss node systems, examples of multi-storey building systems, and the assembly of a large production hall using professional teamwork and cranes. Various elements of a storey building frame, such as bracing, inner posts, and outdoor poles, are explained in detail.
