Formal definition: A frame is a plane (2D) set of beams connected at stiff and/or hinged joints (corners)

Joints have to be in the equilibrium!

After we determine reactions and check stability we can deal with a frame as a set of individual beams, applying all techniques which have been demonstrated for beams. But, besides of diagrams of M and Q we have to make diagrams of N, too.

Parabolic arch

To determine reactions we only need to know position and magnitude of loads and position of the hinge and supports

But to determine the cross-sectional forces we do need the equation describing shape of the arch: including coordinates of any point and its tangent.
