Abstract
Presents procedures for the design of wind moment frames in accordance with BS 5950-1. The publication gives design procedures for frames that are braced in the minor axis direction and for frames that do not have bracing in either principal direction. The limitations of the method, which differ slightly for these two cases, are explained.
