  1. In Chicago In San Diego In Minneapolis SIGNIFICANCE OF BUILDING CODEAli Irmak Ozdagli, Dr. Shirley Dyke College of Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN In Minneapolis, Minnesota, earthquakes and winds are very rare. In such regions, the tendency is toward more cost-effective designs. Cross-braces are avoided since their applications are not feasible in non-hazard zones. In Chicago or so-called ‘Windy City’, high-rise buildings are designed to withstand gusty winds. Reinforcing a structure with cross-braces are very efficient in preventing damages caused by winds. In San Diego, California, where destructive earthquakes are occurring often, seismic design of structures is a must. As a precaution against earthquakes, cross-braces can increase building’s capacity to withstand seismic forces.
