TLDR
In this paper, a component based finite element model (CBFEM) is introduced to analyze and design connections of steel structures. But the results are compared to those obtained by component method for portal frame eaves moment connection with good agreement.Abstract:
This paper introduces component based finite element model (CBFEM) which is a new method to analyse and design connections of steel structures. Design focused component model (CM) is compared to finite elements models (FEM). Procedure for composition of a model based on usual production process is used in CBFEM. Its results are compared to those obtained by component method for portal frame eaves moment connection with good agreement. Design of moment resistant column base is demonstrated by a case loaded by two directional bending moments and normal force. Interaction of several connections in one complex joint is explained in the last example. This paper aims to provide structural engineers with a new tool to effectively analyse and design various joints of steel structures.read more

Research into the stiffness of beam-column joints of modular prefabricated buildings
TL;DR: It’s been identified that the joints of spans, typical for modular buildings, having no angle stiffeners, should be classified as semi-rigid and their rotational stiffness should be taken into account in designs.
