* '''Horizontal Motion Isolation:'''
The beam-columns have horizontal stiffness Ks with the weight load applied laterally. Due to this the lateral bending stiffness is reduced by the "beam-column" effect. This behavior is equivalent to a horizontal spring combined with an NSI so that the horizontal stiffness is K=Ks-Kn, and Kn is the magnitude of the beam-column effect.
