📚 New Knowledge Base Article: Considering Joint-Structure Interaction in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9
Our latest article explores the crucial role of Joint-Structure Interaction (JSI) in structural modeling and design, specifically in RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9. JSI refers to the complex behavior at the connections between structural elements, such as steel members, where forces like axial loads, bending moments, shear forces, and torsional moments are transferred between the joint and connected members.
This interaction is vital because joints are not perfectly rigid, and their stiffness affects the overall behavior of the structure. Accurate modeling of JSI ensures precise load distribution and helps prevent potential structural failures, ensuring compliance with relevant design codes and standards.
