In the older versions, the rotational capacity of the connection in the stiffness analysis was determined by 15% plastic strain of plates only.
Newly, the limit is defined by these three factors:
- Failure of bolts (bolt steel failures in tension and shear)
- Failure of welds
- Plates (15% plastic strain)
This affects the Rotational capacity value Φc.
