Well, in my case, for the Special Truss Moment Frame, the company that has used this system treats all the joints as rigid. They use double angles welded to the gusset plate. I'm sure that using double angles will induce less moment in the web members. In my case, we simply just change from...
The truss we are making is for research purpose so we try to treat it as they are done in practice which is treating joints as rigid. Normally, they use double angles as chords, diagonal and vertical web. In our research, we are gonna be use 2C12x25 for all of the members. Cost and weight are...
The moment comes from treating all the joints as rigid. Yes, bending moment in the web members. I look at UFM but those web members only carry axial loads.
I am designing connections of a Special Truss Moment Frame. The top and bottom chords are continuous while the web members are connected by welding to the gusset plates. The joint is treated as rigid. As a result, the web members will carry axial force, shear force and moment. I can't find any...
