Solve Problem 7.11 by assuming that the frame is unbraced. Note that, instead of developing a new analytical model for the unbraced frame, the previously developed models of the corresponding braced frames can be modified to eliminate the effect of bracing by simply using a very small value for the modulus of elasticity, E, of the bracing members (e.g., E = 0.000001 kN/m2 ).
