Name this connection!


Identify the type of connection illustrated above:

B. rigid
C. roller
D. fixed




Answer is A. pinned. A pinned connection permits a structural member to rotate but not translate in any direction. Both vertical and horizontal forces can be resisted but not moment. This illustrates just one of many idealized models of a pinned connection.
