Abstract | ||||
Abstract: In this paper the effect of providing knee braces on the stability of rectangular multi-storey frames with hinged and fixed bases is investigated. Two families frames provided with knee braces are studied. The effect of the various factors affecting the elastic buckling load is discussed. The sway buckling loads are calculated using the direct method of analysis, which is based on the resolution of the general state of sway in the presence of axial compression. The results are represented diagrammatically as function of the buckling load with respect to the different effective parameters. | ||||
