    This document discusses various structural building types and their performance during earthquakes. It covers structural basics like redundancy, ductility, and degradation. It then examines specific structural systems like braced frames, sheathed frames, and moment frames. It also discusses masonry construction types like unreinforced brick/block walls and reinforced masonry. Finally, it covers concrete structural elements and potential failure modes seen after earthquakes.
