However, loading scenarios are simplified to an ideal case therefore the entire structure needs further reinforced with lateral support .

In order to achieve this, buttresses are added along large span peripheral in addition to the vertical columns.

Buttress added to enhance stability

Conclusion: Structural analysis is a sophisticated process, so as associated computer programming. Students are advised to take on models in a smaller scale , especially when time framework is constrained.
