Abstract

In this paper, a fully analytical approach is proposed for framed structures with semi-rigid beam-to-column connections. Traditionally, the analysis of frame structures is based on the assumption that all connections are either frictionless pinned or fully rigid. Recent limit state specifications permit the concept of semi-rigid connection of the individual frame members in the structural design. In a frame with semi-rigid joints the loading creates both a bending moment and a relative rotation between the connected members. The moment and relative rotation are related acting through a constitutive law, which depends on the joint properties. In this study, a simplified beam-to-column connection is applied which was specified in EC3 Annex J. Results are presented for non-sway and sway frames under different load conditions.
