    The document summarizes a lecture on theory and design of structures. The lecturer, Clifford Grant, reviewed concepts from the previous lesson and administered a pop quiz. Students were then split into groups of three to answer questions defining and justifying the importance of structural concepts like concrete slabs, beams, columns, walls, stresses, strains, dead loads, live loads, shrinkage, and thermal movement within the built environment. Beam designs were also discussed. The lecture concluded with an assignment being given out.
