Re: Flexible colums-stiff beams
Thanks to Qshake and breaks for resonding to my last ?
i want to use the above condition to simplify design, with inflection point at middle of column. Is there a rule of thumb for how much stiffer the beam should be to assume no rotation at top- twice as...
How to determine if fixed end condition. Is steel plate flange bolted to concrete foundation sufficient or is only a welded connection considered fixed.
This subject in general is neglected in engineering texts.
