✦ Synopsis
A review is made of the development of methods used to examine the response of steel frame structures to statically applied loads. The various possible alternatives in terms of rigor and complexity are defined and key effects -especially the role of connections -discussed. Both multistorey and low-rise frames are considered. A section of the paper contrasts the relative lack of attention paid to a number of "neglected features" with the plethora of publications devoted to the analysis of 2-dimensional, bare steel, rigid jointed structures.
