The gravity load due to the weight of all permanent structural and nonstructural components of a building such as walls, floors, roofs, and the operating weight of fixed service equipment.
Industry:Construction
That portion of a column bounded by the highest and lowest surfaces of the other members framing into it.
Industry:Construction
A horizontally flexible and vertically stiff structural element of the isolation system that permits large lateral deformations under design seismic load. An isolator unit is permitted to be used either as part of or in addition to the weight-supporting system of the structure.
Industry:Construction
The collection of structural elements that includes all individual isolator units, all structural elements that transfer force between elements of the isolation system, and all connections to other structural elements. The isolation system also includes the wind-restraint system, energy-dissipation devices, and/or the displacement restraint system.
Industry:Construction
The boundary between the upper portion of the structure, which is isolated, and the lower portion of the structure, which moves rigidly with the ground.
Industry:Construction
Structures that have a large portion of their mass concentrated near the top and, thus, have essentially one degree of freedom in horizontal translation. The structures are usually T-shaped with a single column supporting the beams or framing at the top.
