    Interpreting Form and Behavior

    Today's lecture brings reviews a few assignments and examples that we have been looking at, and underscores important themes in the course, particularly critical visual of structures and the importance of forming an expectation before performing an analysis.

    The examples include:

    • The structural model project.

    • The Lab 6 cantilever exercise.

    • A visual analysis of a cantilever and simple span truss.
