Reading #4

In reading #4 Chin describes the fundamentalĀ basic building block for a structural system. The best way to start of structure is with a more rectangular shaped postal and lintel frame work. For example that system is when the ration of the long to shot damsons is greater than 1.5:1. When the system is close to complete or before you begin to do such, you have to make sure which system youā€™ll use. Different materials and different spacing for the system is needed for various damsons of the site. You can use a grid to help you process and understand the fundamental system that you need for your building. When contrasting a lateral force you must have a center of mass as strong as possible.

    Frelix,

    I recommend you review the reading again to improve the accuracy of your summary. For example, Ching refers to the ratio of 1.5:1 for a very specific system. What is the system? Are there other ratios that are also recommended or shown in the other types of systems?
