Abstract
This Paper addresses stabiliq aspects in plastic analysis and the design of reinforced concrete sway frames. Simple slenderness rules are developed to control-in-plane overall frame buckling and member buckling. A numerical example and various comparisons are used to justify the proposals and to illustrate the simpliciq of the method in practical design.
