Such lateral load-bearing systems are used in new and retrofit construction of low- to high-rise buildings. Employment of LYP steel with low yield stress and high elongation capacity combined with the use of corrugated web-plate providing relatively higher out-of-plane stiffness and strength results in the design of a high-performing structural system.
