A rigid frame in structural engineering
is the load-resisting skeleton
constructed with straight or curved members interconnected by mostly rigid connections which resist movements induced at the joints of members. Its member can take bending moment,shear and axial loads.
Structural engineering
Structural engineering is a field of engineering dealing with the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads. Structural engineering is usually considered a specialty within civil engineering, but it can also be studied in its own right....

Skeleton
The skeleton is the body part that forms the supporting structure of an organism. There are two different skeletal types: the exoskeleton, which is the stable outer shell of an organism, and the endoskeleton, which forms the support structure inside the body.In a figurative sense, skeleton can...
