How do structures carry wind and seismic loads? An Intro to Lateral Force Resisting Systems

Buildings carry lateral (i.e., horizontal) loads through lateral force resisting systems. This video introduces the three most common systems:
(1) Braced frames
(2) Moment frames
(3) Shear walls

The lateral force resisting system does not need to cover the entire structural system, but lateral loads do need to be able to transfer from their point of application to the LFRS.
