This represents the internal structure upon which the external structural coverage of the building is based upon. As an analogy, consider your average house with the studs & noggins for walls (some more load bearing than others) as well as the roof trusses that determine the pitch etc of the roof, as well as determination of space utilization. Obviously it is far more complex in a large building as the stress points, emergency & fire codes & engineering focus has to come into the equation. Hope this helps...........................

In some kinds of housing and many kinds of commercial production it is the framework in which everything is built. In homes it is called post and beam (heavy posts to which timber beams are pinned) and in commercial buildings it is the steel or concrete structure. Examples of the opposite are the frame (2x4's nailed together) in housing and slab construction in buildings (tip up walls)
