This course has been developed to explain and examine the concepts of lateral stability of building structures. Its principal purpose is to address the concept of lateral stability to aid those who wish to gain greater understanding of this aspect of structural engineering. It should be noted that this course was not developed to act as direct guidance for those seeking to attempt the Incorporated or Membership examinations.
By the end of the course, attendees should be able to:
Describe the methods of achieving lateral stability in buildings
Recognise how robustness impacts on lateral stability
Identify second order effects on building structure frames
Illustrate development and projection of load paths in frames
Identify and exploit vertical and horizontal stability systems

This guidance covers the general philosophy of a building's stability system; specifically, framed vertical bracing.
This guidance covers shear walls; assisting structural engineers in the development of shear wall systems, and illustrates the choices available in their design and construction.
This guidance provides an overview of moment frame design; as well as information on buckling stability, plastic analysis, analytical modeling of joints, simplified analysis methods, and moment frames in application.
A four-part series focusing specifically on lateral load resisting systems, triangulated (framed) vertical bracing, shear walls and moment frames.
