Horizontal force resisting building structure and attachment for attaching walls to same

摘要

A horizontal force resisting building structure having a steel building framework, a bearing wall member being placed outside the building framework so as to face a suitable structure plane of the framework, and an attachment for attaching the wall member to the framework. The attachment has less resistance to plastic deformation than the wall member, and may include a bracket and a connector for connecting the bracket to the wall member.
