Connection Wednesdays – Stiffness classification

Connection stiffness is a crucial aspect of a structure's design because, ultimately, the behavior of connected members should align with the assumptions initially made by the structure designer. This is especially true in the case of semi-rigid connections. In this webinar, we briefly review the code requirements related to stiffness classification. Afterward, we endeavor to design the connections of an actual frame that will be initially designed as moment resisting. We employ a semi-rigid configuration and subsequently apply the predicted behavior to the global analysis structure. Throughout this process, we explore common questions and assess their impact on the design.
