33. BUILDING STRUCTURES

This chapter focuses on the structural components of buildings, detailing the connections between beams and columns and the behavior of simple frames. It outlines three primary types of building systems: wall subsystems, vertical shafts, and rigid frames, emphasizing their roles in load distribution. Additionally, examples of shear walls and their analyses under various loads are provided, illustrating practical applications of structural engineering principles.
