The test of a 5-story HYBRID
frame at UCSD demonstrated that a building with HYBRID frames will sustain a
minimum of structural damage, even when subjected to very strong ground
motion.

According to Charles Pankow
Builders, "the Precast Moment Resisting Frame protects the integrity of
a building's structural frame through seismic performance." Other advantages include:
|
|
· Avoids Loss Due To
Expensive Post-Earthquake Structural Repairs
|
|
· Design Flexibility
|
|
· Shorter Construction
Duration
|
|
· Better Lateral Resistance
|
|
· Floor-To-Floor Height
Reduction
|
|
· Effective In Mid-rise To
High-rise Buildings And Parking Structures"
