Greetings, I define a stiffened butt plate connection to the left and right of a column. It defines one side as rigid and one side as hinged. Is the stiffened butt plate joint joint, is it rigid?
Re: RIGIDIZED FACE PLATE JOINT Hello; The joint you use seems to be a shear joint with a rigid faceplate that can be selected as the connection type in the secondary beams, check and use the stiffened faceplate joint in the constructive connections. Necessary checks regarding the combination will be made and if there is an error, you will be contacted. Good work.
Hello there; Column-Beam contains 2 joints in the stiffened butt plate connection due to the stiffness situation and the element freedom is in 2 different ways due to 2 different geometric situations. You can use it as a moment-transmitter or moment-transmitter by modifying it in the same joint. Images will help with this issue. The stiffened butt plate connection in the secondary beam is not faulty, the freedom is created for the beam-beam connection points that do not transmit moment in accordance with the rigidity of the joint. Good work.
