When stress analysis are performed, the supports of all structures are assumed to be either frictionless pinned or completely fixed. However, these types of supports are rare in practice. The beams or girders found in steel frames are neither hinged nor fixed at their ends. For the stress analysis of a beam with partially fixed ends, Timoshenko's restraint factor is combined with Kinney's fixity factor. Here in this paper, the finite element method is used for the study of stress analysis of the beam with partially fixed ends. The results by finite element method show good agreement with those by other studies.
