Today let’s talk about how member behaviours are classified as flexural dominated and shear dominated. There is an term(beta) which is basically ratio of flexural stiffness to shear stiffness. Please refer the screenshot on the left for it. To simplify this ratio depends on poisson ratio, span/depth ratio and end…

Why stiffness modifier value is higher for column than beam?
The pattern and extent of cracks will vary substantially from structure to structures and members to members even in a similar structure. It is very difficult to assign the unique values of the stiffness modifiers for different members. The values which are suggested in the code are based on the…
