StructuralEIT:
Unless, like I said, it is a cantilevered column (not a pinned base) and you actually check the strength and stiffness of the column to brace the beam.
Thanks. I have analyzed this column as a cantilever (fixed base and free top) and applied a lateral load at the end of 1% of...
I am referring to a beam without stiffeners at the support. Could the positively connected column, along with the top flange bracing, together act as a restraint against rotation without the need for a stiffener?
In regards to the unbraced length, "l", and beam rotation restraint at supports: If an adjustable steel support column is embedded in a 4" concrete slab at the bottom and the top bearing plate is bolted or welded to the bottom flange of the beam, could the beam be assumed to be braced or...
