What is a Frame?
A frame is primarily a two-dimensional structure consisting of horizontal and vertical members called chords and webs, respectively. These components create a rigid and stable framework that can withstand various types of forces and moments applied to it.
Chords, typically placed along the perimeter of the frame, resist axial forces and provide overall stability. Webs, on the other hand, are internal members that resist shear forces and help transfer loads between chords.
Types of Frames
Frames come in various types, each with its distinct characteristics. Here are some common types:
