Across
  1. 2. Twisting response of a structure caused by uneven lateral forces
  2. 4. The mechanism that helps reduce structural vibrations over time
  3. 5. Force that pushes structural elements sideways across a section
  4. 6. Steel plate used to connect braces to beams or columns
  5. 7. The property that controls how much a structure resists deformation
  6. 8. Failure mode when a compressed member suddenly bends sideways
Down
  1. 1. Rotational force created in a beam-column joint resisting lateral loads
  2. 3. Orientation commonly used for braces in lateral load resisting systems
  3. 4. The horizontal displacement of a building during wind or earthquake loading
  4. 8. Diagonal structural member that stabilizes a frame against sideways forces
