In this configuration of shear walls with column-and-beam system, which statement is NOT true? (Choose 1)
A. lateral resistance in the transverse direction is provided by the shear walls
B. lateral resistance in the longitudinal direction is provided by the column-and-beam system
C. lateral forces cannot be resisted in the longitudinal direction by the shear walls
D. lateral forces cannot be resisted in the transverse direction by the column-and-beam system
AnswerB is not a true statement. The column-and-beam system doesn't provide lateral stability in the longitudinal direction, but could with the addition of bracing.
