Well Dawn aren't completing the first section of the course by now you should have a reasonable understanding
of how to apply the mommy distribution process to simple structures.
Now we're going to focus on applying that process to more complex structures now before we can move
on and think about those more complex structures.
We have to know a little bit more about lateral stability and a sense you were talking about here is
how do structural frame studies and structure that's more complex than a one dimensional beam.
How did those type of structures resist lateral loading on what are the different systems that structural
engineers employ to ensure that structures that are designing resist those lateral loads safely and
adequately.
So in the next lecture I'm going to expand on this idea of lateral stability and introduce some of the
common systems employed by engineers to ensure stability.
And then in the following lecture we're going to see how does this concept of stability influence our
mom and distribution process.
