17. FRAME ANALYSIS

Frame structures combine beams, columns, and slabs to resist lateral and gravity loads, with distinctions between rigid and braced frame structures. Rigid frames offer high stability and effective resistance against moments and lateral forces, while braced frames enhance resistance through diagonal members. Load transfer in frame structures is crucial for their performance, making them advantageous over traditional load-bearing buildings in terms of flexibility, construction speed, and economical designs.
