The term structural system or structural frame in structural engineering refers to the load -resisting sub-system of a building or object. The structural system transfers loads through interconnected elements or members.
2-443: A frame is often a structural system that supports other components of a physical construction and/or steel frame that limits the construction's extent. Frame and FRAME may also refer to: Structural system Commonly used structures can be classified into five major categories, depending on the type of primary stress that may arise in the members of the structures under major design loads. However any two or more of
4-414: The basic structural types described in the following may be combined in a single structure, such as a building or a bridge in order to meet the structure's functional requirements. The structural system of a high-rise building is designed to cope with vertical gravity loads as well as lateral loads caused by wind or seismic activity. The structural system consists only of the members designed to carry
