  2. Girt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girt

    Girts are stabilized by (sag) rods/angles/straps and by the wall cladding. Stabilizing rods are discrete brace members to prevent rotation of an unsupported flange of the girt. Sheet metal wall panels are usually considered providing lateral bracing to the connected, typically exterior flange along the length of the girt.

  3. Cross bracing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_bracing

    This bracing is known by many names such as herringbone strutting, blocking, bridging, and dwanging. Cross bracing on a bridge tower. In construction, cross bracing is a system utilized to reinforce building structures in which diagonal supports intersect. Cross bracing is usually seen with two diagonal supports placed in an X-shaped manner.

  4. X-bracing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-bracing

    The John Hancock Tower has visible X-bracing on its exterior. X-bracing is a structural engineering practice where the lateral load on a building is reduced by transferring the load into the exterior columns. X-bracing was used in the construction of the 1908 Singer Building, then the tallest building in the world. [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. Steel plate shear wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_plate_shear_wall

    Similar to plate girders, the SPW system optimizes component performance by taking advantage of the post-buckling behavior of the steel infill panels. An SPW frame can be idealized as a vertical cantilever plate girder, in which the steel plates act as the web, the columns act as the flanges and the cross beams represent the transverse ...

  7. Curtain wall (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtain_wall_(architecture)

    Designed by the architect Peter Ellis and built in 1864, it is the world's first building to feature a metal-framed glass curtain wall. 16 Cook Street, Liverpool, 1866. Extensive use is made of floor-to-ceiling glass, enabling light to penetrate deeper into the building, thus maximizing floor space.

  8. Self-framing metal buildings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Framing_Metal_Buildings

    Building length can be extended with added discrete brace systems (e.g. roof level horizontal brace, portal frame, diagonal brace, interior partition shear wall). Building height: 2.5 m (8' +/-) to 7.5 m (24' +/-) is common. Height is primarily limited by the capability of the wall panel to support the wind load.

  9. Braced frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braced_Frame

    In structural engineering, a braced frame is a structural system designed to resist wind and earthquake forces. Members in a braced frame are not allowed to sway laterally (which can be done using shear wall or a diagonal steel sections, similar to a truss ).
