Cantilever beam with back span- Moment connection
Cantilever beam with back span- Moment connection
(OP)
Hi all,
We are having a discussion in the office regarding a particular cantilever connection detail and wanted to get more input on it.
The attached detail shows a cantilever beam with a back span connected to a column (This happens on two sides so that it is a cantilever frame). Does this connection serve as a fully restrained moment connection for full frame action or is it a partially restrained moment connection is what we have been debating about?
Appreciate your helpful insights.
Thanks.

This outlines the theoretical limit on connection stiffness for definition of a fully rigid connection (where Ms/ΘsL/EI >= 20)
