Abstract
The present chapter presents a number of design examples of the application of the compressive force-path (CFP) method discussed in the preceding chapters, with particular emphasis being given to design applications for earthquake-resistant structures. For purposes of comparison, the cases presented also include design solutions obtained from methods adopted by current codes. In all cases, all safety factors are set equal to 1; for application in practice, the code recommended values may be used.
