Determining the realistic rotational stiffness of column base connections in steel seismic resisting systems
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
The New Zealand Steel Structures Standard, NZS 3404, provides an upper and lower rotational stiffness boundary for fixed and pinned column base connections for structural analysis, respectively. These boundaries aim to ...
Numerical parametric analysis of gravity column base-plate connections
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Gravity column base-plate connections are normally treated as pinned connections in design. Correspondingly, a low rotational stiffness value is specified in the New Zealand steel design standard, NZS 3404. However, previous ...
