Yes, the diagram is badly drawn. With P near the left, I do not believe the structure would sway to the right like that. It just doesn't feel right. It would all make sense if P were to the right of half way.fonseh said:
Looking through it again, I agree with you. Thanks.CWatters said:
So , the concluison now is MCB is larger than MBC ??haruspex said:
Yes, it's just a typo, as CWatters posted.fonseh said:
Sidesway of a frame refers to the lateral displacement or movement of a frame structure, typically caused by horizontal loads such as wind or seismic forces.
Sidesway can significantly reduce the lateral stiffness and stability of a frame structure, making it more susceptible to collapse or failure under lateral loads.
Factors such as the height and shape of the structure, the magnitude and direction of the lateral loads, and the stiffness of the frame members can all contribute to sidesway in a frame structure.
Sidesway is typically addressed in the design of frame structures by incorporating lateral bracing systems, increasing the stiffness of the frame members, and using appropriate load and resistance factors.
No, it is not possible to completely eliminate sidesway in a frame structure. However, it can be minimized through careful design and the use of proper bracing and construction techniques.
