Lateral Force Resisting Systems

Wind load
(idealized)

Wind loads are transferred

along windward walls to the roof
and floor elevations
Lateral Force Resisting Systems

Wind loads on the roof and walls

are resisted by the walls parallel to
the wind load direction
Lateral Force Resisting Systems
Lateral Force Resisting Systems

The walls are subject to the shear

loading condition shown
Lateral Force Resisting Systems

The walls resist the applied shear

forces and are referred to as
“shear walls”
Lateral Force Resisting Systems

The ends of the shear walls are

anchored to resisting overturning
forces
