In this paper, a computational approach is undertaken to determine the rotational stiffness and moment capacity provided by typical “pinned” column base-plate connections in low-rise metal buildings by analyzing a wide-range of connection parameters. The most influencing details ...
Low-rise metal buildings are used in all geographic locations, including high seismicity regions. In the design of low-rise metal building systems, column base connections are commonly modeled as pinned supports with no rotational stiffness or moment capacity. However, past studi ...
Low-rise metal buildings constitute a large portion of the nonresidential construction in the United States. These buildings are, in most cases, characterized by a pinned column-to-foundation connection. Although previous research has been conducted on other components of metal b ...
