Abstract
Most of the connections in steel structures are designed as semi-rigid mainly because of technological reasons. On the other hand such connections allow the structural response to be controlled [1]. Structures with semi-rigid connections deserve special attention since the global flexibility may considerably be increased. The behaviour limits should be determined using advanced methods for analysis and design. The problem of making the performance more predictable becomes a subject of intensive research work during the last decade [2], [3].
