Moment Frames

Moment frames are structural systems used in buildings to resist forces like wind and earthquakes. They consist of a series of beams and columns rigidly connected, allowing the frame to transfer loads through bending and moments, rather than just axial forces. This interconnected design provides greater stability and flexibility, especially for taller or more complex structures. Essentially, moment frames act like a cohesive skeleton, enabling buildings to withstand lateral forces while maintaining strength and stability.
