Assessment of Rotational Stiffness for Metallic Hinged Base Plates under Axial Loads and Moments
Pinned base plate connections are the most common base connection used in low-rise steel buildings. In this research, an extensive parametric study is performed using the Finite Element (FE) software Abaqus to determine the elastic rotational stiffness, moment resistance, and energy absorption of th...
