Introduction to Earthquake Engineering and Seismic Codes
... Most houses in Japan are made of wood frame construction with shear walls where braces are installed. The earthquake resistant capacity of those houses depends mostly on the amount of the shear walls. But, it is difficult to intall enough shear walls into two (X and Y) directions especially for a narr ...

lateral load design of tall buildings
... Tall buildings are susceptible to dynamic horizontal loads such as wind and earthquakes. These horizontal forces bring about considerable stresses, displacements and vibrations due to the building’s inherent tallness and flexibility. As far as wind action is concerned, displacement and vibration des ...
