Alternate load path,Moment Redistribution,bridging of failure - Why Non Engineered Buildings Stand

Alternate load paths exists in structurally designed buildings. The ability of structures to redistribute is a virtue. This helps a lot in avoiding failures some times. Carefully used, moment redistribution can be used to economise structures if the gravity load combination is the governing load combination. This is mentioned in the civilera structural blog and please see it in addition to seeing this video.

This video covers the structural points listed below.
Alternate load path
Moment Redistribution
Why a non engineered building is some times standing
How a wall below a beam may be taking the load.
How can a 2 way slab crack and redistribute to become a one way slab

I also have a structural blog on the topic of redistribution. Please read that too for a full understanding of the structural subject.
In the blog you will also get to read about the topics below.
When you should adopt moment redistribution in design of beams.
How will the redistribution of moments help you to economise design if dead and live loads are governing.
IS code provisions for moment redistribution
