THE STATICAL ANALYSIS OF SEMI-RIGID FRAMES BY DIFFERENT CONNECTION TYPES
Abstract
In this study, elastic supported frames are analyzed by using a computer program. The connection flexibility is modeled by linear elastic rotational and lateral springs. Having the same geometry and cross-sections, the statical analysis is examined for five different spring combinations. Response characteristics of ten different twostorey frames are compared with reference to rotations and displacements of their joints. The study indicates that rotations and displacements of connections increase as the spring coefficients decrease.
