Structural joint that transfers both bending moments and shear forces, providing rigidity and stability to frameworks.
A Moment Connection is a type of structural joint designed to transfer both bending moments and shear forces between connected members, such as beams and columns. Unlike simple connections, which only transfer shear forces, moment connections are designed to resist rotational forces and provide additional stiffness and stability to the structure. They are commonly used in steel framing to create rigid, load-bearing frameworks that enhance overall structural integrity.
