The two major methods of determining lateral loads.

Answer to Problem 32.1Q

Extra blocking and metal connectors to tie posts of one level to members below them are methods of determining lateral loads.

Explanation of Solution

Lateral loads on a structure cause a side-movement. Seismic activity and wind cause lateral loads. Based on the country area where the building is situated, the magnitude of lateral loads can vary greatly.

OSB shear panels or plywood, metal connectors to tie posts of one level to members below them, metal angles and extra blocking are common methods of resisting lateral loads.
