Abstract

Determining the magnitude of the lateral deflection of the building frame of low-rise rigidly framed structures, due to external loads, is needed in order to meet appropriate serviceability and design code requirements. In this chapter, a simplified rational closed form analytical expression is formulated for calculating the lateral deflection of low rise rigidly framed structures subjected to different lateral force distributions varying with the height of the frame.
