Occurrence of Hinges

Occurrence of Hinges

Occurrence of Hinges

(OP)
Which floors do hinges on the beams and column usually occur?

If the building is 4-story, the first two floors develop hinges?
if the building is 3-story, still the first two floors develop hinges or just the first floor?

RE: Occurrence of Hinges

Location of hinges is dependent on the design and detailing of the system

RE: Occurrence of Hinges

There is no sensible answer to the question. Plastic hinges can occur in a variety of places depending on the applied load and the arrangement, strength and stiffness of members.
