Problem 9.17
Both cases (a) and (b) will are rigid frames and will have large horizontal displacements and will
behave the same. In case (b) the added member will not carry any load. In case (c) the diagonal
member changes the behavior. The frame will behave like a truss. All the members only carry
axial forces and lateral movement will be very small.
