ABSTRACT
The paper deals with the problem of creating the optimum frame structure which, on the one hand, could correspond to the architectural peculiarities of the building and the layout of its apartments, and on the other hand, would have the necessary rigidity. It would permit to use as few of diaphragms as possible and to make the construction light enough and to have an economical use of reinforced concrete. For this purpose a comprehensive investigation of a multistorey frame building, which is being designed was carried out. It consisted in estimating the strength and stability of the framework structure as a whole and its separate elements components.
