JOINT CONDITION
JOINT CONDITION
(OP)
Could anybody clear my concept for followings:
1. In gerber beams construction i.e. when beam runs on top of column and is connected to column thru cap plate and 4-A325 bolts, then column end will act as a PINNED or FIXED JOINT?
2. How to model this thing in any frame analysis software?

If you do a lot of Gerber beams... you might want to look at plastic design of the beams... generally much cheaper.
