EK108
The lateral deflection of a story-high rigid frame due to beam and column rotations may be considered analogous to the shear defections of a story-high segment of a shear wall.
EK107
The total lateral deflection of a rigid frame may be considered a combination of the following: Cantilever deflection due to axial deformation of columns (15% – 20%). Frame shear racking […]
EK17
A column with some initial lateral deflection will exhibit non-linear behavior as the load is increased. The non-linearity is not significant at normal design loads, but it becomes highly pronounced […]
