Moment Frame and Braces as Lateral Force Resisting Systems

Explore the fascinating world of lateral force resisting systems in this engaging video! 🏗️✨ Using Popsicle sticks, we’ll investigate different structural designs for a building frame. First, we’ll test a structure with no lateral system to see how it performs under stress. Next, we’ll introduce a moment frame, followed by diagonal and cross-bracing systems to understand their effectiveness. Join me as we uncover the importance of these systems in ensuring the stability and safety of buildings during lateral loads!

IT'S RIDICULOUS HOW SO SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD YOU DELIVERED THIS EXPLANATION AND ALL OF IT I COULD DIGEST RIGHT AWAY. thank you man i really needed this. i have terrible attention span and this video helped me a lot in understanding these systems liked and subbed!! :)

[xu_elisa]

Thank you. That's was one of the most simplest way I understood it.

This video helped me design the fence for my yard. I did a horizontal shadow box fence with the structural X boxed inside the horizontal boards, screwed into the inside of the post, which were spaced 8' apart. Wish I could attach a picture. Never built a fence before, but the style of it is getting great feedback from the neighbors. Thank you! I love the look of it and I love that my fence is built to last, thanks to the X between the post. Great teaching video!

I think all engineers should bild one of this, it is such a easy way to understand this concepts ...

I need to build small shop as cheap as possible, so your video is very helpful to me❤

1:51, 2:22, 2:52, 3:34 That's a good reference.

You're awesome man! for long I tried to figure out these but I ever imagined they could be so easy!

[Forgemno]

Thanks. I'm studying nfpa and this came up

[TV-wsmf]

It's pretty awesome. Thank you so much.

BUt could you not use single diagonal brace in each square?With braces facing away from each other in each square?Tops of the braces facing outside in each square.Which would save you the overlapping problem.
Any forces acting on the structure will be coming from outside and with braces facing outside also then you would have just as sturdy a wall.
Just top of my head wondering lol

Front and back frames stiff, anything in between - rigid. Connect via good roof system. The result is an optimal system with an ability to put windows.

Is there much of a difference if the braces are connected: vertical to vertical member, or vertical/ horizontal to vertical/ horizontal, or horizontal to horizontal members? Did that convey my question well? I hope.

Please just show the FINAL Bracing! No Time to go through each step. Time is very valuable for us!

WOW .. you're amazing .. well done .. like and subscribe without a doubt
