structural frame

Definition

Complex of columns, and beams, girders, spandrels, and trusses connected to one another and to the columns anchored in a foundation, as well as other components or members necessary for the stability of a structure. Floors and roof panels, not connected to the columns (and called secondary members) are not considered part of the structural frame.
