A tall building boom in the late 1920s and early 1930s in urban centers Chicago and New York . In the 1960s and 1970s, Professor Egor Popov at the University of California at Berkeley and other researchers began to perform cyclic laboratory testing of steel moment framing. As a result of the apparent high performance of these structures, the building codes from the 1960s adopted preferential design criteria for steel moment frames. Historic Development

Rigid frame systems, also called moment frame systems, are used in steel and reinforced concrete buildings. This system consists of beams and columns . Reinforced concrete and steel in rigid frames are used In earlier high-rise buildings, while concrete were under development, steel frames were predominated. A rigid frame is an unbraced frame, that is capable of resisting both vertical and lateral loads by the bending of beams and columns. Stiffness of the rigid frame is provided mainly by the bending rigidity of beams and columns that have rigid connections. Introduction
A rigid frame system are comment system using in high rise building in this years on the world that has more stability and less damage due to Natural disasters like earthquake and wind load. A rigid-frame structure is a structure made up of linear elements, typically beams and columns, that are connected to one another at their ends with joints that do not allow any relative rotation to happen between the ends of the members. What is a Rigid Frame system?

Steel The seismic design category AISC 341 is requires that structural steel used in steel special moment frames meet the requirements of AISC 360 . The specified minimum stress to be used for members in which inelastic behavior is expected cannot exceed 50,000 psi, unless the suitability of the material is determined by testing in accordance with AISC 341. Material Properties
Concrete Concrete used in composite components and in supporting foundations must meet the requirements of ACI 318, requires a minimum concrete compressive strength, f’c , of 3,000 psi. Cont …
The design of a rigid frame building is not much different from others, essentially. Considering by held together and made stable by very tight junctions of the members (column & beam). Similar to this, the structure of a rigid frame building is characterized by its rigid connections of straight or tapered columns and beams. That can be steel rigid frame or concrete rigid frame as clarify in (fig 7). How is Connect the Rigid Frame system?
A rigid frame derives its lateral stiffness mainly from the bending rigidity of frame members interconnected by rigid joints. The joints shall be designed in such a manner that they have adequate strength and stiffness and negligible deformation.
Modules of rigid steel frame connection Using angles or split tees to connect top and bottom beam flanges to columns to refuse the wind load By the 1960-1970, began to use the connection type as the welded unreinforced flange - bolted web, this modules couldn't refuse the lateral load

The sizes of many columns also are drift-controlled because the strong-column/weak-beam provisions discussed earlier demand larger columns if larger beams are used. Exceptions are end columns in steel special rigid frames, which often have high axial load demands and in most cases are controlled by strength design criteria. when designed for strength considerations only, the biggest disadvantage in rigid frame systems is the size of lateral drift, which causes discomfort to residents and damage to non-structural elements. Design Consideration - Drift
The first is the deformation due to cantilever bending of the building (bending deformation), which is approximately 20 per cent of the total lateral drift (Figure 10 a). Cont … There are two causes of lateral drift: Fig 10 Lateral drift in rigid frame systems
The second is that of the deformation due to bending of the beams and columns (shear deformation), approximately 65% is due to the bending of the beams, and 15% to the columns, totaling approximately 80 % of the total lateral drift (Figure 10 b). Cont … Fig 10 Lateral drift in rigid frame systems
The drifts of rigid, comparison with others
From the structural design point of view, tall (high-rise) buildings, because of their unusual height, show a greater sensitivity to wind and earthquake induced lateral loads than low-rise buildings. Estimating those lateral loads which play an important role in the design of tall buildings is more difficult than estimating vertical loads. Earthquake loads increase according to the building weight, and wind loads increase according to the building height. For this reason, wind loads, while they are generally an unimportant issue in the design of structural systems for low- and mid-rise buildings, play a decisive role in that of tall buildings, and can even be a cause of large lateral drift (sway) that is more critical than that from earthquake loads.

The deflection of rigid, comparison with others
Distribution of moment on the rigid and hinged frame Decrease the axial load on the column, gives smaller cross section of column Increase the buckling at column Small deflection at beams Resists lateral deformation More drift Increase the axial load on the column, gives large cross section of column Increase the buckling at column
Rigid frames are used when the architectural design will not allow a braced frame to be used. This type of lateral resisting system generally does not have the initial cost savings as a braced frame system but may be better suited for specific types of buildings. Figures 13 & 14 show a floor plan and building line elevation of a rigid frame system. Methods of Rigid Frame Design Fig 13 : Typical floor plan with rigid frames
Figure 13 indicates the solid triangle designation typically used to show rigid connections between beam and column as well as girder and column. The building elevation shown in Figure 14 indicates the same solid triangular symbols at the floor line beam to column joints. Cont … Fig 14 : Rigid frame building elevation
Connections between the beam and column typically consist of a shear connection for the gravity loads on the member in combination with a field welded flange to column flange connection . Column stiffener plates may be required based on the forces transferred and column size. This type of joint is illustrated in figure 15 . Cont … Fig 15 : Typical rigid (moment) connection
Moments get redistributed. Deflections are smaller . Effective column lengths are shorter . The main advantage of rigid frame structures is that they do not have structural walls or vertically oriented diagonal braces. Rigid frames are provide architectural freedom in design . rigid frames typically impose smaller forces on foundations than do other structural systems. Advantages of Rigid Frames
Rigid frames not specifically detailed for seismic resistance have no special detailing criteria . These frames are not permitted as seismic force resisting systems in Seismic Design Categories D, E, or F . The added cost results from the use of heavier sections in the rigid resisting frames, requiring increased steel usage and more labor intensive connections than is common in braced structures. Disadvantages of Rigid Frames
The property itself can influence the design team's structural system. Site layout and soil conditions can pose certain issues with foundations and building geometry. The proposed building geometry can limit the available structural schemes due to the complexities that can result from acute angles . Earthquake and wind impacts are always considered in choosing frames. Environment and Health Safety
CASE STUDY
In this study, a new lateral resistant system called hybrid frame, which is a combination of semi-rigid and fully rigid steel connections used in 20-story SAC frames, is presented herein : Several different patterns and locations of semi-rigid connection replacements within the frame were examined in order to identify hybrid frames with the best seismic performance. The effective connection stiffness was identified by performing a parametric study on the initial stiffness of the semi-rigid connections. Then, the cyclic behavior of the connections with the most effective Stiffness was obtained, using nonlinear element analysis. Abstract Summary for the case study
The simplified model of a rigid frame The simplified model of a hybrid frame
A rigid frame in high rise structure typically consists of parallel or orthogonally arranged bents consisting of columns and beams with moment-resistant joints. Its unobstructed arrangement, clear of structural walls, allows freedom internally for the layout . Rigid frames are considered economical for buildings of up to about 25 stories, above which their drift resistance is costly to control. If, however, a rigid frame is combined with shear walls, the resulting structure is very much stiffer so that its height probability may extend up to 50 stories or more. Conclusion
