About this document
Understanding Dual Structural Systems by Peter KpopLovers is a document available to read on EtoBox.
In a dual system, both frames and shear walls contribute to resisting lateral loads. Frames bend in shear mode while shear walls bend like cantilevers. This causes frames to pull upper walls and push lower walls. As a result, frames resist loads in the upper building while walls resist loads in the lower building. The walls are pinned at the top by the frames and fixed at the bottom to resist seismic loads. Abaca strand rods can be used for seismic reinforcement inside and outside buildings. Externally, ve
