The Differences between Section Rigidity and Member Stiffness and their Applications in Engineering Structural Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

Under the action of same loads, the sizes of deformation and internal force generated in the building structure are related to the inherent stiffness of member or structure itself. In structure design, these two basic concepts of section rigidity and member stiffness play a significant role in stress analysis of member or structure. This article summarizes the application of section rigidity and member stiffness which are often used in structural design by contrasting the definition and calculation of section rigidity with those of member stiffness, which can help the designers to understand the two concept of “rigidity” well and utilize them reasonably in real structure designs, and make the designed structural force conform to relative codes and regulations.
