A bar-slider framework is a bar-joint framework a part of whose joints are constrained by using line-sliders. Such joints are allowed to move only along the sliders. Streinu and Theran proposed a combinatorial characterization of the infinitesimal rigidity of generic bar-slider frameworks in two dimensional space. In this paper we propose a generalization of their result. In particular, we prov...

The behaviour of beam-column joint plays an important role in the response of a steel moment resisting framed structure especially under seismic excitation. Semi rigid connections like bolted joints, allow better energy dissipation and provide good response under lateral loads. In this paper the ductility and energy dissipation characteristics of semi rigid bolted connections using double web a...

ABSTRACT: In this study, large-deformation and small-strain elasto-plastic analysis of space frames with symmetric cross sections and semi-rigid connections are presented. The effect of axial forces on the bending moment and lateral buckling are included. However, axial-torsional and warping effects are omitted. The Eulerian equations for a beam-column with finite rotation taking into account b...

Flush end-plate (FEP) connections are one of the most popular bolted steel in construction practice. These possess a semi-rigid moment-rotation behavior that betwixt rigid and pinned connections. Nonetheless, they commonly idealized as design numerical simulations. This paper investigates flexibility, strength ductility such holistic manner, based on recently compiled comprehensive database mor...

The connections are used to transfer forces and moments due applied loading. capability of the connection in resisting moment is classify types steelwork particularly for cold-formed steel. Classification schemes based on total moment-rotation behavior have been developed aid design analysis connections. Moment-rotation curve commonly describe that can be obtained from either theoretical or exp...
