Elastically Encastré Struts: A Suggestion for the Stressing of Members Subject to End Restraint

Abstract

THE assumption of a pin‐jointed end condition will give optimistic results when the stress condition near the ends of a strut in a rigid‐jointed frame are of importance. The method given in this note suggests a means of determining the stress distribution in such cases.
