Footings exist within the foundation which function as members for lateral stability.

Bracing consists of steel connections that are bolted and welded at intersections of beams and columns. Lifting consists of beam supports that run within the floor plates and intersect with steel columns. Load travels from the roof to the concrete slabs, to the steel decking, to the beams, which run down to the columns etc. and move down to the foundation at ground level.
