Obviously, the flexural stiffness, bending moment and the deformation capacity
(ductility) of semi-rigid beam-to-column connections in any type of structure, either
precast, steel or composite, influence greatly the response of the structure as a whole.
The general advantage so fusing semi-rigid connections depend on the type of frame
and the usual basis of design. For braced frames this is simple construction, assuming
pinned connections, for unbraced frames this is continuous construction, assuming
rigid connection
