Lateral Load Resisting Systems

This document discusses lateral load resisting systems. It defines lateral loads as horizontal forces like wind and seismic loads that act parallel to the ground. Stiffness refers to how well a structural element can resist deformation from an applied force. Common lateral load resisting systems use techniques like special moment frames, dual systems, viscous dampers and seismic isolation to increase a building's resistance to lateral forces. Examples given of buildings that employ effective lateral systems are Taipei 101, The Shard in London, and Burj Khalifa.

WHAT IS LATERAL LOAD ?

 Lateral Load Are Live Loads That Are Applied


Parallel To The Ground ;That Is,They Are Horizontal
Forces Acting On A Structure.
 Most Common Types Are:
1)Wind Load
2)Seismic Load
3)Water And Earth Pressure
WHAT IS STIFFNESS?

 In structural engineering, the term 'stiffness' refers


to the rigidity of a structural element. In general
terms, this means the extent to which the element is
able to resist deformation or deflection under the
action of an applied force.
WHAT IS LATERAL LOAD RESISTING SYSTEM?

 A large number of design groups want to apply a


lateral force resisting system that works well and
produces a result in the long run. Thus, a lateral
force resisting system supposed to be both
performance-based and cost-effective.
OBJECTIVE

 During severe earthquakes the structural system


undergoes extensive damage that result in high cost
of repair.
 Use of alternatives to concentrate damage and easy
to repair structural element.
 To increase height limits of buildings.
LATERAL LOAD RESISTING SYSTEM
TECHNOLOGIES
 Metallic Fuses
 Special Moment Resisting Frames
 Dual Systems
 Viscous Dampers for High Rise Buildings
 Tampering of Building, Corner softening, Cutting out
parts of structure, Wind turbines into voids, etc.
THE LATERAL LOAD RESISTING SYSTEM USED IN
VARIOUS BUILDINGS

 Taiwan’s Taipei 101


 The Shard in London
 Burj Khalifa
