Portal Frame Analysis with semi rigid base plate connection
Portal Frame Analysis with semi rigid base plate connection
(OP)
Is there any reference in any aussie code or manual to design a portal frame with a semi-rigid base plate connection? Would anyone know how to do this/analyse in space gass?

I'll repost here anyway. thread744-260012: Base Stiffness and AS4100
I haven't used spacegass in a while but instead of assigning a fixed moment restaint you assign it free and give it a rotational stiffness. Might be something like 1E6 (N-mm/rad) under the Kz or whichever way you have your frame orientated.
