Can we useda flat plate, with shear walls as LFRS in seismic zone 4 (UBC 97)
(OP)
Recently i am working to design a high-rise building in a seismic zone 4 (UBC 97) or Seismic catogrey D for which we are considering using a flat plate, with shear walls as LFRS, but have some concerns about the performance of flat plates during seismic events.are flat plates typically used in seismic areas?is there a text book or case study available that discusses their performance during recent seismic

- Flat plates to column joints don't perform especially well under seismic. If you're going to use this system, evaluate the joint carefully under the expected drift and force demands.
- Your lateral system is likely shear walls only (no dual system). As such, there may be a requirement for performance based design.
The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.
