1. (a) Calculate the corresponding moment resistance of the connection.

(c) One type of lateral support system for a structure is Moment Frames. Name two other
lateral support systems and for each system:

(i) Use sketches to show how the system transfers horizontal load to the ground
(ii) List the advantages and disadvantages of the system
