Abstract
Appreciable savings in materials and in the cost of a structural framing can be assured by the use of elements having tapering depth or flanges. “Wedge beams” can be substituted for members of constant cross section, as normally utilized in conventional framing, by introducing a series of hinges or joints of limited moment capacity. In a rectangular framing, the hinges are placed at midspan of the horizontal members and at the base of the columns, and the sections are tapered from a maximum at the rigidly connected joints to a minimum at the hinges.
