A series of lecture notes from a foundations structures course (arch 331) taught by dr. Anne nichols during spring 2009. The notes cover various topics related to pinned frames, rigid frames, arches, and continuous beams. Topics include the behavior, design, and types of pinned frames, rigid frames, and arches, as well as the analysis methods for continuous beams.
