The type of beam-to-column joints used influences the global analysis of all the members in their vicinity. Beam-to-column joints are classified both by stiffness and by strength.The categories are: For stiffness:rigid,semi-rigid,and nominally pinned; > For strength:full-strength,partial-strength,and nominally pinned.  The type of beam-to-column joints used influences the global analysis of all the members in their vicinity.  Beam-to-column joints are classified both by stiffness and by strength.
