overturning moment

Isaac Kremer/ January 28, 2022/ / 0 comments

An external moment generated at the base of a structure by a lateral load applied at a distance above grade. For equilibrium, the overturning moment must be counterbalanced by an external restoring moment and an internal resisting moment provided by forces developed in column members and shear walls. (Ching, 1995)
