Four-bolt extended unstiffened moment end-plate connections
Design procedures for moment end-plate connections, which include prying action effects, have been verified for five end-plate configurations. The design procedures include the use of yield-line theory for determining the end-plate thickness and the so-called modified Kennedy method for determining …

Behavior of Diagonal Knee Moment End-Plate Connections
… to study the behavior of diagonal knee moment end-plate connections and a multiple row extended moment end-plate connection. Diagonal knee moment end-plate connections differ from typical moment end-plate connections because of the large pitch distance required between the top flange and first …

Simplified method for design or moment end-plate connections
Bolted moment end-plate connections are extremely popular in the metal building industry due to economics and construction ease, yet have proven to be quite complicated from the analysis and design standpoint. Past research has shown that the design of these connections is controlled by either the …

End plate gap effects on a half-wing model
… evaluations of a half wing model mounted with an end plate gap were done. Vortex panel method was used in the theoretical evaluation. The results from this indicated an effect of reduced aspect ratio with increase in end plate gap size. Tests were conducted in the VPI Stability Tunnel at low …

Performance of snug tight bolts in moment end-plate connections
… behavior of snug tight ASTM A325 bolts in moment end-plate connections for use in single story buildings. Wind loading was deemed to be the critical loading on snug tight bolt, moment end-plate connections. A test loading sequence was established based on a statistical analysis of the 50-year wind …

Vulnerability assessment of extended end-plate connections under mainshock-aftershock sequences
… mechanistic models for assessment of behavior of end-plate connections under mainshock-aftershock sequences. The second goal was to employ the developed models in probabilistic analysis for the development of fragility functions that describe the probability of exceeding a specific limit state of …

Behaviour of beam-to-column end plate connections in structural steelwork
End plate connections are extensively used as moment-resistant connections between members in steel frames. The popularity of these connections can be attributed to the simplicity and economy associated with their fabrication and erection. Both the flush and extended end plate types are widely used …

Unified Design of Extended End-Plate Moment Connections Subject to Cyclic Loading
… develop unified design procedures for eight extended end-plate moment connection configurations subject to cyclic/seismic loading. In addition, the suitability of extended end-plate moment connections for use in seismic force resisting moment frames was investigated. Eleven full-scale cyclic and …

Evaluation of the Inelastic Rotation Capability of Flush End-Plate Moment Connections
… study the inelastic rotation capability of flush end-plate moment connections. Seven specimens representing two-bolt and four-bolt flush end-plate configurations were tested under cyclic loading. "Quasi-static" or "slow-cyclic" loading histories suggested by SAC and the Applied Technology Council …

Development and Validation of a Twelve Bolt Extended Stiffened End-Plate Moment Connection
Three end-plate moment connection configurations are prequalified for special moment frames for seismic applications in AISC 358-10. The eight bolt extended stiffened connection is the strongest of the three configurations, but it can only develop approximately 30 percent of currently available …
