A study of semi-rigid plane steel frameswith semi-rigid column bases

Abstract

Effects of beam-column members. The Frye and Morris polynomial model is used for modelling of semi-rigid connections. The semi-rigid column bases have been studied from the research of some researchers in Europe in recent time. The Finite Element Method is used for analysing the plane steel frames by iterative procedures. Calculating program is made with MatLab. The results of the analysis will determine the behaviour of the frames which are accurate to the reality compared those towards with the previous rigid-frames.DThis article presents an analysis method for plane steel frames with semi-rigid connections and semi-rigid column bases. The analysis takes into account both the non-linear behaviour of beam-to-column connections and the second-order.
