Rigid connections, also known as moment-resisting connections or fixed connections, are structural connections that provide resistance to rotation (moments) between connected members. These connections are designed to transfer both vertical loads and moments from one member to another, creating a rigid and stable structural system. One common type of rigid connection is the bearing type
