Spring Constants – Semi-Rigid Column Head, Semi-Rigid Column Base, Elastic Nodal Support, Considering Shear Stiffness

These formulas are used to calculate the spring constants of the stiffness of an elastic nodal support. In this case, a column with a semi-rigid column head and a semi-rigid column base is analyzed on the basis of modeling with a fictitious column, considering the shear stiffness.

C_{u, X} = \frac{12 \cdot E I_{z}}{h^{3} \cdot (4 + k_{z})} + \frac{X}{100} \cdot \frac{36 \cdot E I_{z}}{h^{3} \cdot (1 + k_{z}) (4 + k_{z})}

C_{u, Y} = \frac{12 \cdot E I_{y}}{h^{3} \cdot (4 + k_{y})} + \frac{X}{100} \cdot \frac{36 \cdot E I_{y}}{h^{3} \cdot (1 + k_{y}) (4 + k_{y})}

C_{u, Z} = \frac{E A}{h}

C_{φ, X} = \frac{3 + k_{y}}{1 + k_{y}} \cdot \frac{E I_{y}}{h} + \frac{X}{100} \cdot \frac{E I_{y}}{h \cdot (1 + k_{y})}

C_{φ, Y} = \frac{3 + k_{z}}{1 + k_{z}} \cdot \frac{E I_{z}}{h} + \frac{X}{100} \cdot \frac{E I_{z}}{h \cdot (1 + k_{z})}
