Technical Report 3 Posted

Technical Report III discusses the lateral system analysis of The Commonwealth Medical College. The primary objective is to find the adequacy of the current system resistive strength. It analyzes the lateral system's response to the controlling wind and seismic loads. TCMC has fifteen moment frames of varying heights. Tech III also checks story drift and displacement, building torsion, shear strength, overturning, relative stiffness, and serviceability.
