17 Semi-Rigid Connection, Non-Linear Material Bending Resistance Capacity

This playlist series focuses on the rigid connection calculation according to EN 1993-1-8. A comparison is made with Ansys at the end of the series after hand calculation. Finally, tips for applying the semi-rigid connection to RFEM are presented.

A portal frame with two levels is presented. The Endplate welded to the HEA200 beam is bolted to a HEB300 column with 6M20 class 8.8. Steel material is S355 for all parties.

In this video, the moment capacity of the connection is determined. The contents are as follows:

1. Non-Linear Material in Ansys
2. Sub-Steps in Ansys Analysis Setting
3. Maximum Bending Capacity of the Semi-Rigid Connection
4. Comparison with the hand calculation.
5. Checking the contact tool and compare with the hand calculation.
