Abstract | This thesis presents a matrix analysis of structures with semirigid connections. The stiffness factor of a connection has been assumed to be a constant as represented by the initial relationship of moment versus rotation. Three cases are considered: Case I - structures with semirigid connections, column width and beam depth considered; Case II structures with semirigid connections, column width and beam depth neglected, and Case III structures with rigid connections, column width and beam depth neglected. Fixed end moments for members with semirigid connections are also developed. Results of the three cases are shown for a single-bay two-story structure and results for Case II with varied stiffness factors are shown for a single-bay three-story structure. Solutions are found by the use of a high speed digital computer. Computer programs are shown in the appendices. |
