Behaviour of Top and Seat Angle Semi-rigid Connections

Behaviour of Top and Seat Angle Semi-rigid Connections Traditionally connections are classified as pinned or rigid, but in actual practice most of the connections fall under semi-rigid category. The design procedures for semi-rigid connections are more tedious but prove to be more economical. The top and seat angle connection which have been traditionally considered as a pinned connection for simplifying frame analysis is found to exhibit semi-rigid behaviour. In the present paper, an all-bolted top and seat angle connection is investigated in detail using the software ANSYS 11.

Abstract

Traditionally connections are classified as pinned or rigid, but in actual practice most of the connections fall under semi-rigid category. The design procedures for semi-rigid connections are more tedious but prove to be more economical. The top and seat angle connection which have been traditionally considered as a pinned connection for simplifying frame analysis is found to exhibit semi-rigid behaviour. In the present paper, an all-bolted top and seat angle connection is investigated in detail using the software ANSYS 11. The effect of geometric parameters on the monotonic moment–rotation relationship is discussed.
