43. What is a distinguishing feature of traditional load-bearing structures compared to frame structures?

1. Greater flexibility in architectural design
2. Reliance on columns and beams for support
3. Reduced construction time
4. Enhanced seismic resistance

Answer

The correct answer is: B) Reliance on columns and beams for support

Explanation

Comparing traditional load-bearing structures to frame structures, the former limits architectural freedom by relying on thick walls and vertical columns to support the weight of the building.
