Frame Advantages
Optimum use of floor space, ie. optimal for office buildings, retail, parking structures where open space is required. Relatively simple and experienced construction process Generally economical for low-to mid-rise construction (less than about 40 stories)
Frame Disadvantages
Generally, frames are flexible structures and lateral deflections generally control the design process for buildings with greater than about 4 stories. Note that concrete frames are about 8 times stiffer than steel frames of the same strength. Span lengths are limited when using normal reinforced concrete (generally less than about 40 ft but up to about ft, 50 ft). Span lengths can be increased by using prestressed concrete.

AUDITORIUMS

11/29/2011
Some of the most fascinating man-made structures on earth are the massive auditoriums that were once used for theatrical performances, music shows, as well for more sinister purposes such as violent wild animal shows and gladiatorial contests
The amount of engineering knowledge that our g g g ancient ancestors had developed is just as mesmerizing especially when some of these auditoria rival present-day outdoor theatres in terms of acoustic properties.
