Seismic Load Resisting Systems

Seismic load resisting systems are structural components designed to help buildings withstand the forces generated by earthquakes. They absorb and distribute the shaking energy, preventing the building from collapsing or suffering severe damage. These systems include special frames, braces, and foundations that are engineered to move with seismic forces, maintaining the building’s integrity. Think of them as the building’s shock absorbers—allowing it to sway safely and stay intact during an earthquake, ensuring the safety of its occupants and protecting valuable infrastructure.
