    I am modeling a hinge on a slab, and I followed the steps on the picture below (which I find in this forum) and the deflection, shear and moments at the hinge are very close to what is expected at the hinge. My question is, can you please clarify the…

    I want to model hinges at the end of a beam which is connected to several other beams. How can I do that in Plaxis 3D? Thanks for your help!

  • RE: Internal Hinge or Internal Guider Roller

    Sye

    Assuming your question is related to STAAD.Pro, you can define internal hinges by applying member releases. The member should be split at the location of the hinge and you may apply appropriate member release to the segments on either side to simulate…

    My general advise is to keep torsion fixed at column bases because that seems realistic for most base plates in the real world. If the model is such that too-large of My reactions develop, then it might be worth applying a release or a spring.

    Slabs are always continuous in Ram Concept. You can create a hinge by introducing a strip or band of concrete with reduced bending stiffness behavior.

    With most finite element programs, the default behavior for linear beam type members is to be fully fixed or rigid at the ends. This is done to prevent instabilities that often arise from having everything pinned or hinged at the ends. In Ram Elements…
