Te measure the shear force and moments in the flames a method called moment distribution is used. By this method the shear force and moments of each member in a frame can be calculated. The method consists of making each ends of the member fixed and then calculating the forces at the ends of the fixed ends of the members when the loadings are applied. The result of these calculations is used to design the building, the beams and columns are made so as it can withstand the loading without failing. Another method of measuring the forces in a building is by the use of software which with the use of the values of the loading and the dimension of the building and structural component, calculate automatically the shear forces and bending moment in the building. This method is more accurate than the manual methods
