Rahmenträgerkonstruktion

Rahmenträgerkonstruktion refers to a structural system composed of interconnected beam elements that form a rigid frame. These frames typically consist of horizontal beams, often called girders or beams, and vertical or inclined members, known as columns or stanchions. The defining characteristic of a rahmenträgerkonstruktion is the rigid connection between these elements, allowing them to resist external forces through bending, shear, and axial action. This contrasts with simple beam or truss structures where connections are often pinned or assumed to be so.

The rigidity of the joints is crucial for the load-carrying capacity and stability of a rahmenträgerkonstruktion. These joints can be designed as moment-resisting connections, meaning they can transfer significant bending moments between connected members. This allows the frame to distribute loads efficiently and resist lateral forces such as wind or seismic loads. Common applications for rahmenträgerkonstruktion include buildings, bridges, industrial structures, and temporary event structures.

The analysis of rahmenträgerkonstruktion often involves methods such as the slope-deflection method, moment distribution method, or finite element analysis, due to the indeterminate nature of the statically indeterminate structure. Material choices for rahmenträgerkonstruktion vary, with steel and reinforced concrete being the most prevalent due to their strength and stiffness. The design aims to optimize material usage while ensuring structural integrity and safety.
