  Structural Behavior of Flexible and Semi-Rigid Beam-Column Joint Connections by FEM

  By Savant Gangadhar Sahebrao, S.S.Kadam, S.R.Patil

  Abstract: This study investigates the structural behavior of flexible and semi-rigid beam-column joint connections in cold-formed steel (CFS) structures, focusing on the use of Finite Element Modeling (FEM) to simulate their performance under various loading conditions. Traditional analysis methods often oversimplify beam-column connections, treating them as either perfectly rigid or fully flexible, which does not accurately capture real-world joint behavior. In reality, many beam-column joints exhibit semi-rigid characteristics, where the stiffness …
