Analytical Solution of Lateral Shear Stiffness of Single-Stepped Column

Bridge engineers must be familiar with the two lateral stiffness formulae for prismatic column sections; that is, k=3EI/L^3 for pin-fixed boundary condition and k=12EI/L^3 for fixed-fixed condition. These two simple formulae are fairly basic concepts often used in seismic analysis … Continue reading
