Embedded column base rotational stiffness model based on beam-on-elastic-foundation theory and component method

Key Points

• Rotational stiffness is a critical factor for designing embedded column bases, impacting overall structural performance.
• The component method provides a new analytical approach based on beam-on-elastic-foundation theory for stiffness evaluation.
• This modeling employs parameters that enhance accuracy in predicting load distribution and behavior under different conditions.
• Improvement in design methods for embedded column bases may lead to more efficient structural systems and better safety outcomes.
