OMFs are usually used in zones with no or low seismic activity.They are classified for use based on zones of seismic activity, such that: The three types of moment frames include ordinary moment frames (OMF), intermediate moment frames (IMF), and special moment frames (SMF). Some of the typical applications include: Moment frames allow for larger openings and small wall sections while still supporting required loads and resisting various forces. Moment frames have several applications in single-story and multi-story commercial buildings, but they’re used primarily in low-rise buildings. Concrete frames are also commonly considered moment frames because of their similar continuity. The three main types of connections are bolted, welded, and proprietary, and there are several variations of each. A moment frame will not move laterally without bending the beams or columns.

The rigid connection points permit the frame to resist lateral loads through the flexural strength (bending) and continuity of its beams and columns, such that moments are transferred from beams to columns at the connection points. They are more flexible than shear walls and brace frame structures.

Steel moment frames are vertical frames consisting of traditional beams and columns that are typically connected by bolts and/or welds. They help keep a structure from blowing over or collapsing. These are vertical elements that transfer lateral loads, including wind, seismic forces, and stability forces through floor or roof diaphragms to the building’s foundation. The most common bracing methods for resisting lateral forces in commercial buildings include moment frames, shear walls, and braced frames. Bracing is often installed in every direction because forces can come from every direction. Bracing is installed perpendicular to the direction of the potential force. Structures are braced against lateral and horizontal forces in several ways.
