Ghobarah Notes

This document contains class notes for the course Civil Engineering 4R04 Design and Synthesis of Structures. The notes were created by Dr. A. Ghobarah in September 2007 and cover topics including loading and design, one-way and two-way slabs, lateral load distribution, structural walls, torsion, and wall-frame systems. The notes also provide information on calculating seismic load, including equations for determining base shear and period, as well as example seismic data and calculations for a concrete frame example.
