Lateral load resisting system [LLRS] - jcgomezz/Building_taxonomy GitHub Wiki

The structural system that provides resistance against horizontal earthquake forces through vertical and horizontal components.

It is possible to identify different lateral load-resisting systems in two principal directions of the building by using the Direction attribute. In some buildings, there is more than one lateral load-resisting system in each principal direction, or the system varies up the height of the building, in which case the Hybrid Lateral Load-Resisting System attribute is used.

This attribute has been proposed for modification on the last version Multi-hazard Exposure Taxonomy. GED4ALL, (2018), at different levels, where:

• Level 3: The coulumns- wall density DCW

• Level 4: LLRS (additional) - Infill material

• Infill material unknown

• [MUR] Unreinforced masonry

• [MURCL] Unreinforced masonry, clay brick

• [MURCB] Unreinforced masonry, concrete block

• [MCF] Confined masonry

• [MR] Reinforced masonry
