A type of rigid frame

construction.
• The shear wall is in
steel or concrete to
provide greater lateral
rigidity.
• It is a wall where the
entire material of the
wall is employed in the
resistance of both
horizontal and vertical
loads.

The trussed tube, also

termed braced tube, is
similar to the simple tube
but with comparatively
fewer and farther-spaced
exterior columns. Steel
bracings or
concrete shear walls are
introduced along the
exterior walls to
compensate for the
fewer columns by tying
them together.
