This document discusses different types of rigid-jointed frames used in structures. There are two main types: (1) statically determinate frames, which only require equilibrium equations to determine member forces, and (2) statically indeterminate frames, which require compatibility considerations as well. Statically determinate frames are often used where support settlement is possible since they can accommodate small geometry changes without inducing secondary stresses. Moment distribution is a convenient analysis method for statically indeterminate frames, which must consider no-sway and sway cases.

• Rigid-jointed frames are framed structures in which the members
transmit applied loads by axial, shear, and bending effects. There are
basically two types of frame to consider;
• (i) statically determinate frames; see Figure 1.5 (a) and (ii) statically
indeterminate frames; see Figure 1.5(b).

• Rigid-joints (moment connections) are designed to transfer axial and
shear forces in addition to bending moments between the connected
members whilst pinned joints (simple connections) are designed to
transfer axial and shear forces only.
• Typical moment and simple connections between steel members is
illustrated in Figure 1.6.
• In the case of statically determinate frames, only the equations of
equilibrium are required to determine the member forces. They are
often used where there is a possibility of support settlement since
statically determinate frames can accommodate small changes of
geometry without inducing significant secondary stresses.

• Statically indeterminate frames require consideration of compatibility
when determining the member forces. One of the most convenient
and most versatile methods of analysis for such frames is moment
distribution. When using this method there are two cases to consider;
no-sway frames and sway frames.
