Figure 2.46 Seated moment connection of exterior girders to exterior columns ABAQUS model. 2.5.2.2 Connection Nonlinear Analysis Results Figure 2.47 through Figure 2.53 show our connection nonlinear analysis results. Figure 2.47a through Figure 2.53a show the moment-rotation response, and Figure 2.47b through Figure 2.53b show the shear-displacement response. In each figure, the blue line is the actual behavior of the connection and the red dotted line is an approximation of the actual (nonlinear) behavior to enable us to mathematically approximate the behavior under load with a high degree of computational efficiency.
