 The lower rigid portion of a structure having a vertical
combination of structural system. Platform
Horizontal truss system that serves the same function as a
diaphragm. Horizontal Bracing System
An assemblage of framing members designed to support
gravity loads and resist lateral forces. Structure

A structural system without complete vertical load carrying

space frame. This system provide support for gravity loads.
Resistance to lateral load is provided by shear walls or braced
frames. Bearing Wall System
A structural system with essentially complete space frame
providing support for gravity loads. Resistance to lateral load is
provided by shear walls or braced frames. Building Frame System

A structural system with an essentially complete space frame

providing support for gravity loads. Moment resisting space
frames provide resistance to lateral load primarily by flexural
action of members. Moment Resisting Frame System
Is one in which the story strength is less than 80% of that of
the story above. Weak Story
The effects on the structure due to earthquake motions acting
in directions other than parallel to the direction of resistance
under consideration. Orthogonal Effect

Material other than water, aggregate, or hydraulic cement,

used as an ingredient of concrete and added to concrete
before or during its mixing to modify its properties. Admixture

Upright compression member with a ratio of unsupported

height to average least lateral dimension of less than three. Pedestal

Ratio of normal stress to corresponding strain for tensile or

compressive stresses below proportional limit of material. Modulus of Elasticity
In prestressed concrete, temporary force exerted by device
that introduces tension into prestressing tendons. Jacking Force
Length of embedded reinforcement provided beyond a critical
section. Embedment Length
Stress remaining in prestressing tendons after all losses have
occurred, excluding effects of dead load and superimposed
loads. Effective Prestress
Length of embedded reinforcement required to develop the
design strength of reinforcement at a critical section. Development Length
Friction resulting from bends or curves in the specified
prestressing tendon profile. Curvature Friction
Friction resulting from bends or curves in the specified
prestressing tendon profile. Structural Lightweight Concrete
prestressing tendon that is bonded to concrete either directly
or through grouting. Bonded Tendon
Who shall be responsible for keeping the actual live load below
the allowable limits and shall be liable for any failure on the
structure due to overloading. Occupant of the building
The level at which the earthquake motions are considered to
be imparted to the structure or the level at which the
structure, as a dynamic vibrator, is supported. Basement
The period of continuous application of a given load or the
aggregate of periods of intermittent application of the same
load. Load duration
A member or an element provided to transfer lateral forces
from a portion of a structure to vertical elements of the lateral
force resisting system. Collector
An element at edge of opening or at perimeters of shear walls
or diaphragm. Boundary Element
An essentially vertical truss system of the concentric or
eccentric type which is provided to resist lateral forces. Braced Frame

A combination of a Special or Intermediate Moment Resisting

Space Frame and Shear Walls or Braced Frames. Dual System

A combination of a Special or Intermediate Moment Resisting

Space Frame and Shear Walls or Braced Frames. Eccentric Braced Frame (EBF)

An element of a diaphragm parallel to the applied load which

collects and transfers diaphragm shear to vertical resisting
elements or distributes loads within the diaphragm. Diaphragm Strut
The displacement of one level relative to the level above or
below. Story Drift

Atrribute of Color which also stands for its name Hue

Creation and Organization of Formal elements in a work of art Design

Mark or Figure having a conventional meaning used in place of a
word or phrase that express complex notion Sign

Something that stands or represent something else by association

steel and concrete framework from which are walls are suspended Skyscraper
Façade falsifying the size or importance of the building False Front
A raised platform approached by steps and sometimes having a roof
at the entrance of a house Porch
The orderly, pleasing or congruent arrangement of elements or
parts in an artistic whole Harmony

means of which a change of relationship to some context is
indicated Inflection
To improve or elaborate in order to make more precise Refine
To change the form, character or qualities in order to give a new
orientation or to serve a new end Modify
Basic Landscape Design Principle: Arrangement of varying textures,
forms or sizes in a logical sequential order Transition

Basic Landscape Design Principle: Arrangment best goes hand in
