Across
  1. 3. The point representing the stiffness distribution of the lateral system.
  2. 4. Structural members that transfer diaphragm forces to shear walls or frames.
  3. 8. The point where the building’s weight is assumed to act.
  4. 9. A diaphragm classification where the diaphragm is much stiffer than the vertical lateral system.
  5. 10. Horizontal structural system that transfers wind and earthquake loads to vertical elements.
Down
  1. 1. A diaphragm classification where stiffness is much less than the lateral elements.
  2. 2. Twisting of a building caused by uneven stiffness or loading.
  3. 5. Vertical structural systems that resist wind and seismic forces.
  4. 6. Ratio comparing diaphragm span to diaphragm depth.
  5. 7. Area used to determine how loads are distributed to structural elements.
