Recommendations Executive Summary This report evaluates the assumption that joints which display semirigid behaviour can be modelled as frictionless pinned joints in building design calculations. The idealisation is evaluated by comparing computer simulations incorporating this assumption with experimental test data for the actual structure. The results show that the idealisation is safe and is...
