List and describe two types of lateral load resisting system

Solution

as we know that there are two type of lataral loads that\'s are wind load and earthquack load

here are the systems of lateral load resistance:-

1:- Moment resisting system:- Moment resisting frames are made up of beams and columns that resist lateral loads through flexure of members and through stiffness of rigid joints connecting the beams and columns.

Advantages

Disadvantages

Braced frames:- Braced frames resist loads through a series of trusses made of steel members. The diagonal members of the trusses resist lateral loads in the form of axial stresses, either by tension or compression.

Advantages

Disadvantages

Shear walls:- Shear walls also provide resistance to lateral forces by cantilever action through shear and bending. The slab connected to the shear wall must function as a horizontal diaphragm. Also, shear walls need to be placed symmetrically in both directions to the plane of loading so that no torsional effect would be produced.
