Technical Assignment 3 - Lateral System Analysis

This report contains a detailed analysis of the lateral load resisting system of Parkrdige 6. The system was checked against the worst case loading caused by a combination of either wind and torsional loading or seismic and torsional loading. With the applied loading the system was then checked against industry standrds for drift and overturning moment.
