Assessment of Analytical Procedures for Designing Metal Buildings for Wind Drift Serviceability

While designing metal buildings for wind drift, for simplicity of analysis and design, connection at base of column is considered as pinned which provides no rotational restraint. The actual behavior of the connection however, is partially rigid, that provides some rotational stiffness even in case...
