A series of lecture notes from a university course on architectural structures i, focusing on rigid frames. Topics covered include the definition and characteristics of rigid frames, their behavior under load, types of rigid frames and bracing, and the analysis and design of rigid frames. The notes also mention the use of v & m diagrams and free body diagrams.

behavior Rigid Frames 10Lecture 27 Architectural Structures I ENDS 231 S2004abn
moments get redistributed
deflections are smaller - effective column lengths are shorter - very sensitive to settling

usually uniformly distributed gravity loads
worst case for largest moments... - wind direction can increase moments Rigid Frames 21Lecture 27 Architectural Structures I ENDS 231 S2005abn

one-way behavior
-^ side ratio > 1. -^ “strip” beam - two-way behavior -^ more complex
