Comparison of Stiffness – Experimental vs. Steel Joints for RFEM and EC3

Bar chart comparing initial stiffness for four test cases, showing results from experiments, Steel Joints for RFEM, and EC3 calculations.
The diagram shows a comparison of the initial rotational stiffness for four different joint configurations. The values are derived from experimental tests, analytical calculations according to Eurocode 3 (EC3), and numerical simulations using the Steel Joints for RFEM add-on.
