Lateral Force Resisting System (LFRS) The lateral force resisting system is composed of the plywood roof diaphragm, steel rod x-braces in the north and south walls of the interior portions of the shed, and diagonal wood braces in the east wall. The LFRS is in good to fair condition. Although there are no signs of displacement caused by a previous lateral event such as a windstorm or earthquake, it appears there are no visible diaphragm elements in the west gable end wall and possibly in the gable walls of the breezeway. Therefore, there are only minimal elements in place to resist lateral loads in the north-south direction. If there is plywood or x-braces hidden by the vertical siding of the breezeway walls, the system may be adequate.
