The backstay effect is the set of lateral forces developing within a podium structure to equilibrate the lateral forces and moment of a tower extending above the podium structure. This […]

The cross section is not capable of resisting any additional moment but may maintain this moment for some amount of rotation in which case it acts like a plastic hinge.
In the beam-column connection the applied moment is transmitted by compression in the lower part of the beam and by the bolts in tension in the upper part. The compression […]
The moment is zero where the curvature is zero.
It is usually assumed, therefore, that no moment is transmitted through a simple joint, and that the members connected to the joint may rotate.
In rectangular frames with simple flexible joints the moment transfers between beams and columns may be ignored.
The yield zone is developed over a certain length, normally called the plastic hinge length, depending on the loading, boundary conditions, and geometry of the section. Plastic hinges are developed […]
The value of the moment at the hinge is the fully plastic moment.
Let the beam be subjected to bending in the plane of symmetry. If the bending moment is small, the stress and the strain vary linearly across the section. When the […]
