Formula Stiffness

The document outlines the stiffness characteristics of various end conditions in structural elements, detailing their relative lateral stiffness and equivalent spring constants. It provides formulas for axial, lateral, and rotational stiffness, highlighting their resistance to different types of loads and deflections. Key end conditions include fixed-fixed, fixed-free (cantilever), pinned-pinned, and fixed-pinned, each with specific stiffness values.
