This document discusses the design of transversal frames in steel industrial buildings. It covers:
1) Static schemes for analyzing the frame with either hinged or rigid connections between the column and truss. Rigid connections introduce redundancy effects.
2) Methods for determining the stiffness of frame elements like the truss and columns, which influences internal forces and moments.
3) Different loading schemes on the frame, including combinations of permanent, variable and temporary loads for design.
4) Analyzing internal forces and moments in the column for frames carrying crane girders. Simplified models are used.
5) Considerations for sizing the truss stiffness and determining redundancy effects on truss
