What is Lateral Load Sharing in Dual Systems about?
- When a building contains both shear walls and frames, the lateral loads from earthquake and wind forces can be shared between the two systems. - Commonly, the frame system is designed to resist a minimum of 25% of the total lateral load, while the remaining 75% or more is resisted by the shear walls. - However, this load sharing must be implemented properly in the structural analysis model. The question discusses how to modify load inputs or force the analysis software to achieve the intended 25%/75% loa
