Bearing Wall System – is a structural system without a complete vertical load-
carrying space frame. Bearing walls or bracing systems provide support for all
or most gravity loads.
Boundary Element – is an element at edges of openings or at perimeters of shear
walls or diaphragms.
Braced Frame – is an essentially vertical truss system of the concentric or
eccentric type that is provided to resist lateral forces.
Component – is a part of an architectural, electrical, mechanical or structural
system.
Building Frame System – is an essentially complete space frame that provides
support for gravity loads.
