Flow chart: Frame analysis


This flow chart illustrates the process of frame analysis, for both 'sway frames' and 'non-sway frames'. The output of the analysis is the design forces for members and connections.
NOTE: In a frame, the effects caused by the deformation of the frame may be more or less important. This is checked according to 5.2.1 of EN 1993-1-1 and if the criterion is fulfilled the frame is denoted non-sway frame. If the criterion is not fulfilled the frame is denoted sway frame. (See Commentary on 5.2.1.) A non-sway frame is usually braced but it may also be very rigid in itself. It is theoretically possible that a braced frame will fall in the category sway frame. In such a case it is recommended to increase the stiffness of the bracing.
