ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURAL FRAMES

THEORY

Specific Objectives

By the end of the sub-module unit the trainee should be able to:

  1. Identify different types of plain frames
  2. Determine the magnitude and direction of the forces in plain frames
  3. Identify the methods for determination of forces in frames

Content

  • Types of frames

-lattice -warren -cantilevers

  • Magnitude and direction
