dc.description.abstractEver since the advent of the Moment-Distribution procedure (1) for analyzing continuous frames, it has been possible to solve many problems conveniently which previously had required laborious solutions. Indeed, the current literature of the engineering profession finds the Cross method being adopted in new fields and being applied to new problems. The classical methods of analysis, while still retaining some measure of their former utility, are being superseded by this and other methods involving less time and labor. Yet, even with this new impetus to the field of structural analysis, the rigid space frame has received far less attention than seems justified. Here is a class of structure devoid of practically any analytical investigation and even less experimental research. The desired characteristic of all current designs has been continuity, and yet there exists this paradoxical neglect of the third dimension, without which all structures would be non-existent. The reasons for this apparent indifference are not difficult to ascertain. Practicing engineers are practical men and as such require reasonably accurate results, obtained with a minimum of effort. Economy has dictated that refinements of analysis be saved for the classroom. A two-plane analysis is generally substituted for the more complex three-dimensional case. The write feels that the interaction of members in different planes of certain structures may be quite important in some cases and that a complete, convenient analysis is justified to determine the extent of such action.en
