Steel structure design with Computer Aided Design and Drafting system
The impact of connection flexibility on the behavior of steel structures has long been observed,
however, due to the complexity of accurately modeling connection effects in design analysis, these
effects are generally not considered implicitly in design.
The computer aided design systems can be
used to analyze two and three dimensional structures.
It offers effective 3D models and graphic
environment to define and characterize beam-column-end plate connection behavior for steel
structure design.
The inelastic connection behavior can be modeled using nonlinear moment rotation in CAD system to
represent both geometric behaviors in framed structures.
All CAD systems come with a library of
standard moment-rotation curves which are attuned to test data to characterize each connection
response.
Several trends are emerging in structure design and construction with emphasis on joint behavior in
design.
These include th
