A rigid connection is by definition a complete connection, as there is no degree of freedom in a rigid connection. But a rigid connection is also a continuity, in this case, of stiffness between the elements in the connection. You demonstrated this very well by modifying the beam height in the portal frame examples. And that's exactly the problem with bolted connections. The holes required for bolts insertion reduce the amount of material in the section, which in turn reduces the section's moment of inertia. There is, therefore, a local reduction of stiffness in the section, making it more difficult and expensive to achieve a truly rigid connection with bolted connections. When we design bolted connections, would be more apropriate to consider semi-rigid connections. Excellent video, by the way. Thanks a lot!

Thankyou for the detailed insight. Can you please elaborate more on when it is ideal to have a shear connection vs moment connection in base plates? Furthermore, for beam to column connections in the case of square hollow sections or circular hollow sections where there is absence of a web/flange, how the shear and moment connection are formed for them?

@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus

Hi Wasif, it varies from project to project. Typically you choose a moment connection if you need a rigid structure and due to architectural reasons, for example, you cannot brace the structure. Bear in mind that moment connections are more difficult to design, fabricate and build, not to mention the costs. There are many ways to connect tubular sections. look up guides by CIDECT online

Awesome, thank you again! Ok so question, Fixed vs Simply supported is due to limiting of rotation. What about a Steel beam in a Roof with Purlins above it BUT a Fly Brace has been introduced between the Purlins and the Bottom flange to stop rotation of the Bottom Flange. Is this now a Fixed Connection?

You just won another subscriber! I do have a question what would you consider the threshold for a portal frame to require moment connections instead of just shear connection? When is a moment to big for the connections to require them to be moment connections and where in the code is that info? Thabks

Hi Afonso, a portal frame is a lateral stability system. You cannot achieve lateral stability with only a shear connection. You will use shear connection in braced frames.

4:39 what about the end span-end joint, are they meant to be assumed as fixed or pinned, because I see in some methods of analysis e.g. Moment distribution method, they some times assume the joints at the ends of the end span of a continuous beam as pinned resulting in total moment at the far end support being zero. I thought its because the moments would be small; so negligible, but in some cases recalculating it (assuming the far end support as fixed as opposed to b4) there could actually be a significant amount of moment. So why do we then neglect that moment and assume the far end support to be pinned when in real life its actually fixed I.e there is moment at the support I'm referring to an RCC Beam btw🙂🙂

@@aliqadri4672 When I say increase stiffness I mean increase the size of the element. You are correct, but a beam is subject to different internal forces (bending and shear) than a column (mainly compression). As long as you design them to take any loading they will be subjected to, you will be fine.

Also, as a practicing structural engineer, how do you personally design connections in a large scale structure? What is your go to method. Do you rely on any designated software for this task or an excel spreadsheet?

Haunch is just a larger section of the beam. It helps with more space to facilitate the moment connection, but it's not a pre requisite for a moment connection. You use hanch to increase section capacity where bending moment is larger

7:14 that kind of moment reaction is not possible in real life?

@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus

A perfect moment connection or pinned connection doesn't not exist. We design them as such to simplify the calculation. Some moment connections can be very close to be perfectly rigid, In the same way some shear connections can have some rigidity and transfer moment, however its so small that we usually neglect it. There are semi-rigid connections as well if you want to go more in-depth into connection design.

Misleading. Whether u have stiffeners in the column or not the beam will rotate (together with column) anyway. U are comparing a rigid connection to a fixed end (it is an end not a connection), which is of course different but there is nothing wrong calling the first pic a rigid connection. A rigid connection is based on the assumption that beam-column will maintain 90 degree when they rotate and stiffeners or not will not change that. And the flanges don’t take the moment. The flanges take the compression/tension. Moment is taken by the whole section.

@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus

Hi mate. Thanks for your comment. Appreciate your input. The point I'm trying to get across here is that rigid connections are not all that rigid in reality. Connection rigidity is often overlooked in my opinion and could lead to serious issues in design. If you connect a 460 I beam to a toothpick, it doesn't matter if the connection is rigid or not. The toothpick is so weak compared to the I beam, that the connection you have assumed "rigid" will be a hinge. Regarding the "flanges take moment": the top fibers or bottom fibers or flanges of a beam play a much larger role in resisting the flexural forces (as you said) from bending.

@op-vw8sd

@@bengthebrazilianengineerinAus But rigid connection is rigid connection. You can’t compare the rigid connection to fixed end and call the rigid connection “not so rigid”. The later one is not a connection but a restraint. A rigid connection is based on 90 degree assumption. If you decrease your column stiffness and thus getting a smaller moment at the connection that doesn’t make your rigid connection “not so rigid” or even a hinge. The moment is reduced because the column is softer and rotate more instead of the connection. As long as 90 degree assumption is valid it is a rigid connection. Again, you cannot compare a connection to a restraint and call the connection not so rigid. That’s totally two different things.

@remonbasheer3122

A rigid connection is a joint that assumes the angle between the members is kept constant (doesn’t have to be 90deg since members aren’t always connected at 90deg). This assumption relies on the relative stiffness of the supporting member. If a relatively flexible supporting member is connected to a supported member then this assumption won’t be valid anymore and the angle will change due to large stresses and deformations hence will be less rigid or will start to act as a ‘spring’ support with relative rigidity. Hence a rigid member is only an idealisation and should rather be thought of as a spring with relative rigidity regardless of what connection you use. @op is referring to the rigidity of the actual steel connection and how much deformation they can take. A rigid connection usually refers to the relative stiffness of the members and how good they are at transferring moments where as a steel connection that is rigid doesn’t always provide a rigid connection between members (transfer of member moment is not equal at joint) because a rigid connection depends on the relative stiffness of the members as well. This is what we usually mean when we refer to rigid connections and not the actual rigidity of the steel connection being used.
