Columns in Framed StructureĬolumns are an important structural member of a frame building. Major Parts of Concrete Frame Construction 1. Braced structural frames are more efficient than the rigid structural frame. The structure is braced by inserting diagonal structural members into the rectangular areas of a structural frame. This frame structure resists lateral forces by the bracing action of diagonal members used to resist the sideways forces. The advantage of a rigid frame is that they feature positive and negative bending moments throughout the structure due to the interaction of walls, beams, and slabs. They provide more stability and resist rotations effectively. These frames are built at the site and may or may not be poured monolithically.
