moment-resisting frame

Isaac Kremer/ November 23, 2025/ / 0 comments

A structural frame of linear members rigidly connected at their joints. Applied loads produce axial, bending, and shear forces in all members of the frame since the rigid joints restrain the ends of the members from rotating freely. In addition, vertical loads cause a rigid frame to develop horizontal thrusts at its base. A rigid frame is statically indeterminate and rigid only in its plane. (Ching, 1995)
