  6. Moment-resisting frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment-resisting_frame

    Moment-resisting frame is a rectilinear assemblage of beams and columns, with the beams rigidly connected to the columns. Resistance to lateral forces is provided primarily by rigid frame action – that is, by the development of bending moment and shear force in the frame members and joints. By virtue of the rigid beam–column connections, a ...

  7. Lugged steel frame construction - Wikipedia
