  • In which two classes can frames be divided?

    1.  Braced or unbraced frames 
    2. Sway or non-sway frames

  • Why is a schematisation required?

    The relationship between stress and strain of steel is not suitable for analyses.
  • 3.2.1 Moment/curvature behaviour

  • How come that after reaching the elastic moment resistance Mel, there still a reserve of load bearing capacity is?

    This reserve is due to a favourable redistribution of bending stresses.
  • 4 Analysis

  • 4.1.1 Classification of frames

  • What are braced frames?

    The frame contains bracing members, of is supported by another structure with a larger stiffness than the frame itself.
  • When a horizontal force is applied on a braced frame, how is it transferred to the foundation?

    Through tension and compression forces only.
  • How is an horizontal force transported in a unbraced frame?

    Horizontal forces results in bending in the members of the frame
  • 4.1.1.1 Braced and unbraced

    This is a preview. There are 3 more flashcards available for chapter 4.1.1.1

  • Why is it that for a braced frame, the frame and the bracing system may be analysed separatly?

    The frame without the bracing system resists all vertical loads
    The bracing system resists all horizontal loads
