How Structural Engineers Fight Against Earthquake Forces
Seismic design for structural engineers.
In Australia, we design buildings to handle earthquakes based on a set of rules from AS1170.4.
In today's video, we're going to break down a few reasons why buildings collapse when the earth starts shaking.

  • @edmarferreirajunior724
    @edmarferreirajunior724 12 днів тому

    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!

I am a civil engineer from Thailand. Most of structures in here are reinforcement concrete, No wood frames or wood trusses, that is really tough to understand their concept design to draft drawings.
