“…There are many studies for designing and analyzing the buildings subjected to dynamic or seismic loads (Mohammed et al, 2017;Dehghani et al, 2015;Šipoš et al, 2015;Sazedj et al, 2017;Bothara et al, 2018;Priestley, 1986;Priestley & Seible, 1995;Duggal, 2007;Park, 2009;Uang, 1991;Ellingwood, 2001;Azizi-Bondarabadi et al, 2016). Most practical research works conducted for evaluating the effect of reduced weight on the optimization of non-structural materials have suggested decreasing the amount of steel and armature consumption and reduce dimensions of beams and structural columns.…”

Inappropriate use of gravity and lateral load-bearing system and the use of inappropriate materials may increase in weight of the structure. Thus, we see an increase in gravity and lateral forces and consequently the beam and column dimensions of elements increase. In this paper, by taking several samples of buildings with steel frames and number of different floors and use of different materials as well as various gravity and lateral load-bearing systems this issue was investigated. It was observed that by the use of steel bracing system in both directions of buildings with steel frames; each different load-bearing results in minimum weight loading per unit surface of the skeleton of structure. It was also observed more effect of lightweight construction by increasing the number of floors for all lateral load-bearing systems. Effects of lightweight construction for different lateral load-bearing systems was investigated and we observed that the effects of lightweight construction commonly used for buildings with moment frame system in both directions were more than the rest of the buildings with lateral load-bearing systems.
