2. Building It can be defined as an enclosed

structure intended for human occu-
pancy.

3. Structural systems Categorized based on the mate-

rial of construction, by the way
in which lateral forces induced by
earthquake shaking are resisted by
the structure, and by the relative
quality of seismic resistant design
and detailing provided.

"structural system" or "structural The load resisting sub-system of a
frame" building or object. It transfers loads
through interconnected elements or
members.

6. BEARING WALL SYSTEMS A structural system having bear-

ing walls or bracing systems with-
out a complete vertical load carrying
frame to support gravity loads.

7. BEARING WALL SYSTEMS In bearing wall systems, structural

walls located throughout the struc-
ture provide the primary vertical
support for the building's weight and
that of its contents as well as the
building's lateral resistance.

- used in residential construction,

warehouses, and low rise
commercial buildings of concrete,
masonry, and wood construction.

9. PRECAST CONCRETE WALL - known for its durability and superi-

or strength.
- easy to install and provides excel-
lent protection.
- have the following characteristics:
Thermal resistance, Moisture pro-
tection, Fire safety, Durability, Main-
tainability.

RETAINING WALL (breast or revet- - protects areas from being saturat-
ment wall) ed and reducing erosion
- provides support this wall
- withstand the lateral pressure of
soil or hold back soil
materials.

11. MASONRY WALL - allows for unlimited architectural

expressions and is the most durable
part of any structure
- provides strength and durability.
- control the temperature outdoor
and indoors
- increases fire resistance.
- very low lateral stiffness

12. PRE-PANELIZED LOAD BEARING - For building exterior wall cladding

METAL STUD WALLS - the metal can be aluminum, stain-
less steel, and
- support gravity, wind, and seismic
loading.

13. ENGINEERING BRICK WALL - uses double open-ended bond

beam blocks and by using a mold
- To improve the technical and struc-
tural performance of a
wall or building
- used in construction where
strength and resistance to water
and frost attack are necessary.

14. STONE WALL Made of stone and mortar or without

mortar which is known as a drystone
wall and these walls are mostly used
for outdoor purposes.

15. - highly solid and durable. BEARING WALL SYSTEMS AD-

- high resistance to fire. VANTAGES:
- masonry units provide freedom of
creativity to the user.

- Advanced preparations or fabrica-
tion is not required.
- tools and equipment are simple and
cheap.

17. BUILDING FRAMES - A structural system with an essen-

tially complete space frame provid-
ing support for gravity loads.

- common structural system for

buildings constructed of structural
steel and concrete.

18. 1. RIGID FRAME STRUCTURES BUILDING FRAMES TYPES

2. BRACED FRAME STRUCTURES
3. PORTAL FRAME STRUCTURES
4. SPACE FRAME STRUCTURES

19. RIGID FRAME STRUCTURES These are frame structures de-

signed to resist bending and
deformation.

20. BRACED FRAME STRUCTURES These frame structures use diago-

nal braces to provide
additional stability.

21. PORTAL FRAME STRUCTURES These frame structures consist of a

series of interconnected
frames, forming a portal-like shape.

These are designed to resist both
vertical and lateral loads, providing
a sturdy and flexible solution for
large spaces.

22. SPACE FRAME STRUCTURES These frame structures are three di-
mensional frameworks
composed of interconnected struts
and nodes.

bers.
- used for both structural steel and
reinforced
concrete construction.

- An economical alternative to mo-

ment resisting frames, are common-
ly used for tall buildings.

- In these structures, the columns

cantilever upward from their base
where they are restrained from rota-
tion.

- columns provide both vertical

support of the building's weight
and lateral resistance to earthquake
forces.

35. INTERMEDIATE SYSTEMS The design and construction of

structural steel buildings that do not
specifically conform to any of the
system types.

36. INTERMEDIATE SYSTEMS Structural systems intended to pro-

vide seismic resistance that is su-
perior to that of "ordinary" systems
but not as good as that of "special"
systems.

37. special systems Systems that employ extensive

measures to provide for superior
seismic resistance.

38. ordinary systems Systems that do not have such ex-

tensive design features.
