Lateral Loads

Lateral Systems which stablize the hall from movement

Grade

The lateral loads exert soil pressure onto the subterranean hall, causing the interior walls to act as retaining walls. Other loads displaced on the below-grade multi-purpose space includes water pressure, settlement loads, and earthquake loads.

The areas highlighted in a light blue hue are lateral systems which collectively resist horizontal and vertical forces, much like a poetic balance of Newton’s Laws of Physics. Wind loads are negated in this design.
