But generally speaking, there are four concepts of lateral force resisting systems in building design. Shear Wall- vertical diaphragm Moment Resisting Frame- members and joints are capable of resisting forces primarily by flexure. Braced Frame- vertical truss system Dual System- Combination of special or intermediate moment resisting frames and shear walls or braced frames.
