The paper outlines a possible approach to the problem of assessing the proneness to structural accidents of a given structure or class of structures. It seeks to distil from experience of past structural failures a number of significant parameters, by the assessment of which for a new structure its proneness to accidents could be broadly judged. A way of displaying and comparing such assessments, as by more than one engineer, is indicated.

<h4>Sway Frequencies of Modular Plane Frames</h4>

Sway Frequencies of Modular Plane Frames

The fundamental frequencies of idealized multi-storey frames are shown to depend on four non-dimensional parameters. The behaviour of tall frames is related to that of cantilevers of limited shear stiffness in terms of combinations of these parameters. D.W. Martin and E.L. Albasiny
