A fully rigid (FR) moment-resisting connection between a beam and column is required to transfer:
Choose the correct answer
Shear force only
Full bending moment and shear force without significant rotation
Axial force only
Half the bending moment
Correct Answer
B. Full bending moment and shear force without significant rotation

Fully Rigid (FR) connections transmit both moment and shear with negligible relative rotation (assumed in elastic frame analysis). They require stiffening of the column web/flange against the forces induced by the beam flanges.
