Basic Seismic Force Resisting System

The document describes various structural systems for concrete and steel buildings and provides limitations on building height based on the seismic zone. For concrete systems, bearing wall, frame, moment frame, dual, and cantilevered column systems are outlined. Height limits range from 10 to no limit (NL) depending on the system and zone. For steel systems, bearing wall, braced frame, moment frame, and dual systems are described. Height limits range from 20 to no limit depending on the specifics of the structural system and seismic zone (2 or 4).
