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