Analysis of Building Frames with Semi-Rigid Connections

Abstract
Methods applicable to the analysis of building frames with semi-rigid riveted or welded connections between the beams and columns are presented in this paper. The methods of analysis are too complex for ordinary design use, but the writers have presented simple design procedures, based on these methods of analysis, elsewhere (2) (3),3 and have made them expeditious by the use of charts and diagrams. Such design methods effect permissible economy in the required beam sizes, made possible by considering the partial restraint afforded by standard or near standard connections, particularly riveted or welded connections of the top and seat angle type.
