A rigid frame made of columns and a beam that forms one cross-section of a building's structural skeleton.
A transverse rigid frame that forms the primary structural unit of a building, typically consisting of columns and a beam or rafter connected at rigid joints. Bents are repeated at regular intervals along the length of a structure and resist both vertical and lateral loads. They are common in industrial buildings, bridges, and long-span structures.
The steel building uses a series of clear-span bents spaced 25 feet apart to create an unobstructed interior.
