CONNECTION STIFFNESS IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDUREFOR Risa 3D USERS
Pg 1 of 6
Modeling of Lateral Frames Using SidePlate® Connection Technology:
The inherent SidePlate® connection stiffness can be implemented within ETABS or SAP by replacing the
beam and column stiffness with the SidePlate® stiffness. The SidePlate® connection provides a 100% rigid
panel zone at the column and increases the beam section properties for a distance of approximately the
beam depth (Db) beyond the face of the column. Refer to the SidePlate® Tech Tips document for a
description of the different SidePlate® connection types and general design guidelines.

USING NON-PRISMATIC BEAM SECTIONS is the most accurate way of implementing the SidePlate®
connection properties in RISA 3D.
The stiffened SidePlate® section extends from column face to Dim A (shown in Figure 1). This stiffened
SidePlate® section, which consists of the physical side plates {A}, cover plates {B} and beam, has an
approximate moment of inertia (3) times that of the beam alone for SMF, IMF and OMF applications and (1)
times the moment of inertia of the beam for R=3 applications.D

STEP 2:
Create General Section Sets of RIGID LINK.
(See Figure 4)
STEP 3: DETERMINE THE LENGTH OF RIGID LINK
• RIGID LINK length at beam end is determined by half of column depth
• RIGID LINK length at column end is determined by beam depth + 3"
STEP 4: SPLIT BEAM AND COLUMN MEMBERS
• On the top of Risa menu, go "Modify -> Split Members..."
• Input the RIGID LINK length in % or ft, select "Actually Split PHYSICAL Members" and "Apply Entire to All
Selected Members", split all beams/columns with the same length and the same RIGID LINK length at once.
STEP 1:
Create General Material Properties of RIGID LINK.
(See Figure 3)
RIGID LINK LENGTH = 7"FOR A W14X90 IN THIS EXAMPLE
RIGID LINK LENGTH = 33"FOR A W30X90 IN THIS EXAMPLE

• In R=8 projects, to create Non-Prismatic beam sections at each end of the moment frame beam is to split
both ends of moment frame beams as STEP 4 with the length of SidePlate dimension A. Then assign
Non-Prismatic Section Properties to the split members. See Appendix for examples.
STEP 6: CREATE NON-PRISMATIC SECTIONS FOR R=8 PROJECTS
• Both ends (I End and J End) of RIGID LINK
shall be assigned as "Fully Fixed (No Release)".
STEP 5: ASSIGN FIXITY OF RIGID LINK
• To obtain the approximate connection plate weight for a specific project, simply email your Risa 3D
model to solutions@sideplate.com. One of our engineers will review the model for validation and reply
with the connection plate weight.
STEP 7: CONNECTION WEIGHT
To obtain the SidePlate Non-Prismatic Section Design Properties and SidePlate Dimensions, please
contact solutions@sideplate.com for more information.
• Both ends (I End and J End) of Non-Prismatic Section shall be assigned as "Fully Fixed (No Release)".
