Moment Frame in Residential Construction

We are experiencing extreme weather events including the threat of seismic activity. Structural Engineers must provide requirements to protect the structure from lateral loads caused from extreme weather or seismic activity. Three requirements we have used for lateral load resistance are listed below.


1. Shear Wall
2. Simpson Strong wall
3. Moment frame


This post will show what a Moment Frame looks like.
