An in-depth exploration of rigid frames, their behavior, analysis, and design. Topics covered include the definition and characteristics of rigid frames, their resistance to lateral loadings, types of connections, and methods for analyzing and designing rigid frames. The document also discusses the importance of support reactions and the creation of v & m diagrams.

Rigid Frames 2Lecture 27 A
rigid frames have nopins
frame is all one body - joints transfermoments and shear - typically staticallyindeterminate - types - portal - gable
moments get redistributed
deflections are smaller - effective column lengths are shorter - very sensitive to settling
resists lateralloadings
shape depends onstiffness of beamsand columns - 90° maintained

Rigid Frames 14Lecture 27 A
usually uniformly distributed gravity loads
worst case for largest moments... - wind direction can increase moments
Rigid Frames 16Lecture 27 A
one-way behavior
side ratio > 1. - “strip” beam - two-way behavior - more complex
