Sway frames are those that have lateral stability due to rigidity in their structure, while non-sway frames lack this lateral stability and have to rely on bracing or other systems to provide resistance to lateral forces. Sway frames are typically more resistant to racking movements and are often preferred in structures where lateral loads need to be resisted efficiently.

We are bracing ourselves for the worst.Or, begin the bracing for impact!
The Tay Rail Bridge was completed in February 1878. Following the collapse of the first bridge, a second bridge was built and opened nine years later, in 1887.
A bracing connection is the fixing that holds bracing in place and to transfer loads into the bracing. Bracing holds the structure stable by transferring sideways loads (ie: not gravity, but wind or earthquake loads) down to the ground. It helps keep the structure upright and square when these loads come on to the building.
Expecting horrible news, Ellie was bracing for the worst.
The same reason the millennium bridge broke- feet landing at the same time will cause the bridge to sway one way and then when the other foot comes down the weight is transfered so the pressure causes the bridge to sway the other way eventually causing a disaster (only works with some types of bridges so don't get your hopes up) -I think p.s I'm only in yr 7 at school so I'm not entirely sure
The constant left, right, in unison, like a beating drum, can set up a resonance and make the bridge sway or fail.
He watched the swing sway in the wind.We tried to sway his opinion.
Lateral rigidity refers to a structure's resistance to bending or flexing from side to side. In the context of vehicles, it is important for maintaining stability and handling during cornering. Components like sway bars and chassis bracing help improve lateral rigidity in vehicles.
Sway's birth name is Sway Calloway.
Bracing may be used to support a weak muscle, or to prevent excess contraction of a spastic muscle.
