Use   tracing   paper   to   sketch   from   the  construction   drawings.   Then,   divide   the  whole   patterning   into   several   parts   and  make   copies   on   cardboard.   After   that,   cut  out   all   parts.   The   last   step   is   using   glue   to  stick   all   parts   together.   Finally,   we   get   the  simple  model  of  the  building  ERC.  

Wind   and   earthquake   forces   need   to   be  concerned   when   structures   re   designed   by  engineers.   The   strategies   to   resist   lateral  forces   and   provide   stability   can   be   similar.  Rigid   horizontal   planes   such   as   floors   and  roofs   can   collect   lateral   forces   and   transfer  them  to  vertical  elements  such  as  walls  and  columns.  The   frame  can  be  made  rigid  with  moment   joints   between   vertical   and  horizontal  structures.  

Solid  shear  walls  can  also  collect  lateral  loads.  

ERC   building   is   typically  W   shape   columns  and   mass   construction   with   a   cladding   in  metal  and  glass.
