This contribution presents a novel approach for facilitating a goal-oriented design of the load-carrying behavior of frame structures. In particular, an additive split of internal forces into a stiffness-ratio-independent part and a stiffness-ratio-dependent part is presented. This split is suitable for implementation into structural analysis software. The relevance for structural design is showcased by an example.
