In reading #4 Chin describes the fundamental 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 you’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?
