A rigid frame connected to its supports with fixed joints.

A rigid frame connected to its supports with pin joints.

A building constructed with a steep triangular frame resting directly on a foundation.

A rigid frame of two columns and a beam defining a single bay; also called "single-bay frame".

A braced or rigid frame designed to carry vertical and lateral loads transverse to the length of a framed structure

The junction of the top and either of the uprights of a bent.

The lateral displacement produced in a rigid frame by lateral loads or asymmetrical vertical loading.

A rigid frame having a continuous beam supported by and rigidly connected to three or more columns.

A vertical series of superimposed rigid frames.

A discontinuous column in a multistory frame, supported at some intermediate level where its load is transferred to adjacent columns.

A girder supporting a transfer column.

The structure of a steel rigid frame building is characterized by its rigid connections of straight or tapered columns and beams.

The walls is rigid and fixed. It is this frame that supports the building, and is considered more superior to arched walls.

It has a self-supporting structure with no interior columns, beams or trusses. The exterior sheathing acts as the interior and exterior wall, ceiling and roof. Long steel pieces are joined together to form the supporting framework for the building. Also known as Curved Roof Construction and affectionately referred to as Quonset Huts.

A truss-like, lightweight rigid structure constructed by interlocking struts in a geometric pattern.

Lightweight construction using shell elements. Also called Plate and shell structures.

Who are the Pioneering thin-shell designer?

A basic structure designed to bear a load in a lightweight economical manner.

It is a timber frame structure, where the studs run continuously from the sole plate to the rafter plate.

Most common framing method. Also called as western framing.

A building frame employing a heavy, braced framework of solid girts mortised into solid posts the full height of the frame, with studs one story high filling the interstices. Also called full frame.

A framework of diagonally intersecting metal, concrete or wooden beams that is used in the construction of buildings and roofs; requires less structural steel than a conventional frame.

A tube structure having closely spaced perimeter columns rigidly connected by deep spandrel beams.

A tube structure having perimeter shear walls with less than 30% of the surface perforated by openings.

A framed tube structure tied together by a system of diagonal braces.

Trussed wall frames of widely spaced columns tied together by diagonal or cross bracing

Has perimeter frames of closely spaced diagonals with no vertical columns.

An assembly of narrow tubes tied directly to each other to form a modular structure that behaves like a multicellular box girder cantilevering out of the ground.

A tube structure having an inner braced tube added to the perimeter tube to improve its shear stiffness.

An interior service core braced to provide additional stiffness in resisting lateral forces

A virtual hinge that develops when all fibers are fully yielded at a cross section of a structural member

Of or pertaining to a structure having more than the minimum number of members, connections, or supports needed for stability, resulting in more unknown forces than there are static equations for solution.

The difference between the number of unknown forces in an indeterminate structure and the number of static equations available for solution.

The number of members beyond that required for the stability of a statically determinate structure.

Of or pertaining to a structure able to be analyzed completely by means of the principles of statics.

The number of members required to stabilize a collapse mechanism.

A horizontal timber connecting the posts of a braced frame at an intermediate level above the ground floor [L]

A structural member, connection, or support not required for statically determinate structure.

A girt parallel to and level with the floor joists [J]

A girt set below the floor joists its supports [I]

A heavy timber serving as a principal beam or girder [D]

A summer supporting a wall over an opening [G]

A crossbeam or a bay formed by crossbeams [H]
