2. Steel plate shear wall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_plate_shear_wall

   For architects, the increased versatility and space savings because of the smaller cross-section of SPWs, compared to reinforced concrete shear walls, is a distinct benefit, especially in high-rise buildings, where reinforced concrete shear walls in lower floors become very thick and occupy a large proportion of the floor plan.

3. Self-framing metal buildings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Framing_Metal_Buildings

   Building width: 3 m (10' +/-) to 10 m (32' +/-) is common. Width is primarily limited by the capability of the roof panel to support the applied gravity loads (e.g. self-weight, snow) and wind uplift loads. In taller buildings, the wall panel may be a limiting factor to width due to buckling of the unsupported wall panel length.

4. Staggered truss system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staggered_truss_system

   The staggered truss system is a type of structural steel framing used in high-rise buildings.The system consists of a series of story-high trusses spanning the total width between two rows of exterior columns and arranged in a staggered pattern on adjacent column lines. [1]

5. Framing (construction) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_(construction)

   Wall framing in house construction includes the vertical and horizontal members of exterior walls and interior partitions, both of bearing walls and non-bearing walls. . These stick members, referred to as studs, wall plates and lintels (sometimes called headers), serve as a nailing base for all covering material and support the upper floor platforms, which provide the lateral strength along a

6. Girt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girt

   Channel or C section girts bolted to plate cleats welded to a portal column in an industrial building. In architecture or structural engineering, a girt, also known as a sheeting rail, is a horizontal structural member in a framed wall. Girts provide lateral support to the wall panel, primarily to resist wind loads. [citation needed]

7. Structural drawing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_drawing

   The structural plan drawings show the foundation, floor, and roof plan of the building. These plans provide information like size and location of the structural elements present in the respective plans. Elevations show the exterior walls of a building or structure. In elevation drawings you can find the height of building (floors and roof ...
