Attempt to clarify what is involved in elastic stability in multistory frames; part of difficulties arise from neglect to study stiffening effects of cladding of tall buildings; distinction between "no-sway" designs and designs involving side-sway and effects which frame instability and composite action have on this issue; behavior of practical frames favors "collapse" design, particularly if contribution from composite action can be devised. (see also abstract in Surveyor v 117 n 3470 Oct 25 1958 p 1037-8)
