^ Thanks Steely. That makes a lot more sense to me, as opposed to saying "it isn't possible."
There are other ways to brace a concrete building too, such as increasing the number of shear walls or even using diagonal bracing similar to steel braced frames. I've been seeing a surprising number of concrete trusses in Chicago lately - usually a no-no due to tension in the members.
