Question 1
Analyze a situation where an engineer decides to ignore axial deformation in a beam. Discuss potential impacts on structural integrity.
💡 Hint: Consider the consequences on load distribution when deformation is overlooked.
Question 2
Given a structure's model that uses a semi-rigid connection, compare its performance to one using a rigid connection. What factors would affect your analysis?
💡 Hint: Evaluate how much moment connections allow to pass through the structure.
