2. Steel frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_frame

   Steel frame structure Rectangular steel frame, or "perimeter frame" of the Willis building (at right) contrasted against the diagrid frame at 30 St Mary Axe (at center), in London. Steel frame is a building technique with a " skeleton frame" of vertical steel columns and horizontal I-beams , constructed in a rectangular grid to support the ...

3. Framing (construction) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_(construction)

   Wood or steel floor frames usually include a rim joist around the perimeter of a system of floor joists, and often include bridging material near the center of a span to prevent lateral buckling of the spanning members. In two-story construction, openings are left in the floor system for a stairwell, in which stair risers and treads are most ...

4. Structural system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_system

   A classification for the structural system of a high-rise was introduced in 1969 by Fazlur Khan and was extended to incorporate interior and exterior structures. The primary lateral load-resisting system defines if a structural system is an interior or exterior one. [2] The following interior structures are possible: Hinged frame; Rigid frame

5. Bent (structural) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_(structural)

   A bent in American English is a transverse rigid frame (or similar structures such as three-hinged arches).Historically, bents were a common way of making a timber frame; they are still often used for such, and are also seen in small steel-frame buildings, where the term portal frame is more commonly used.

6. Steel design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_design

   The design and use of steel frames are commonly employed in the design of steel structures. More advanced structures include steel plates and shells. In structural engineering, a structure is a body or combination of pieces of the rigid bodies in space that form a fitness system for supporting loads and resisting moments.

7. Curtain wall (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtain_wall_(architecture)

   Curtain walls may be designed as "systems" integrating frame, wall panel, and weatherproofing materials. Steel frames have largely given way to aluminum extrusions. Glass is typically used for infill because it can reduce construction costs, provide an architecturally pleasing look, and allow natural light to penetrate deeper within the ...

8. Braced frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braced_Frame

   In structural engineering, a braced frame is a structural system designed to resist wind and earthquake forces. Members in a braced frame are not allowed to sway laterally (which can be done using shear wall or a diagonal steel sections, similar to a truss ).

9. Moment-resisting frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment-resisting_frame

   Moment-resisting frame is a rectilinear assemblage of beams and columns, with the beams rigidly connected to the columns. Resistance to lateral forces is provided primarily by rigid frame action – that is, by the development of bending moment and shear force in the frame members and joints. By virtue of the rigid beam–column connections, a ...
