Moment Resisting Frame
• The Load is transferred by shear in columns, that produces moment in
columns and in beams
• The Beam-Column connection is crucial for the system to work
• The moments and shear from later loads must be added to those from gravity
loads
Shear Wall and Frame
• The lateral loads is primarily resisted by the shear in the walls, in turn
producing bending moment
• The openings in wall become areas of high stress concentration and need to
be handled carefully
• Partial loads is resisted by the frames • Traditionally 75/25 distribution haws been
used

Sample Lateral Load Resistance Systems
• Tubular Structure
• The system is formed by using closely spaced columns and deep spandrel beams
• The lateral loads is primarily resisted by the entire building acting as a big cantilever with
a
tubular/ box cross-section
• There is a “shear lag” problem between opposite faces of the tube due to in-efficiency of
column beam connection
• The height to width ratio should be more than 5
Braced Tube Systems
• Diagonal Braces are added to the basic tubular structure
• This modification of the Tubular System reduces shear lag between opposite faces
