Thus, one of the methods of ensuring lateral stability and avoiding excessive lateral deflection is by deploying shear walls across the width of the building to resist the lateral forces.
A structure does not only transfer gravitational forces to the ground, it must do so for several other lateral forces applied . The components that…
The last post was an introduction to the design of high-rise buildings, the main focus of that post was on the design considerations and how…
