Lateral Force for One-Story Wall Based on IBC

Lateral Force for One-Story Wall Based on IBC


This excel sheet calculate Lateral Force for One-Story Wall Based on IBC First calculate lateral load at different floors for the entire building Then distribute to different frames/walls as per floor diaphragm behavior.


Lateral simply means sideways. There is no type of force that is a lateral force but there are lateral forces possible on a body with a directional coordinate system. For instance, a bicycle is moving forward with the coordinate system aligned with the frame. A lateral force will be generated at the road when the bike tips to one side. This force is friction.
