is equal to the connection constant 'Y. Professor Cross (11) has shown that the area of
the analogous column at a pin connection is infinite, and in the region of a completely
rigid zone it is equal to zero. The semi-rigid connection obviously is a case
somewhere between these two extremes, and the column analogy may readily be used
to obtain the moment-distribution factors for a member so connected. Fig. 7 illustrates
a cross section through the analogous column of a member with semi-rigid end
connections.
The right-hand side of this and the following equations has been divided
by 1,000 to give more convenient values of 8. The moment MAB = 34.2338A
