Abstract:The effect of the semi-rigid connection between beams and columns on the global behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures was investigated. The relative rotations in the nodes of the spatial frames were determined using the analytical approach proposed by Alva and El Debs. The rotational restraint factor ( α r) was defined and applied in each node of the spatial frames. RC spatial frames with total heights of 21, 42, and 63 m were considered. It was found that the semi-rigid connection increases the … Show more
