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 …

Strength and Stiffness of Weak-Axis Moment End-Plate Connections
… the strength and stiffness of weak-axis moment end-plate connections. Each test consisted of two girders connected to a column web with four-bolt extended moment end-plates. Two tests were conducted with bare steel. One test included a composite concrete slab that confined the top extension of …

Classification of end plate connections with application to gable frames
… of previous classifications. Further, flexible connections are modeled by matrix displacement method. The effect of flexible connections are studied on gable frames. Firstly, flush end-plate connections with single row of bolts at the tension flange, are classified. The classification system was …

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
… seismic events in the mid 90s where welded connections performed poorly, bolted beam-to-column connections were investigated as a potential alternative. Extensive experimentation was performed to better understand the behavior of the joints, and models were developed in order to simulate …

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 …

Application of the Finite Element Method to the Seismic Design and Analysis of Large Moment End-Plate Connections
Due to problems associated with welded moment connections uncovered after the Northridge earthquake, large bolted connections are becoming a much more attractive alternative for design in seismic regions. However, stringent design requirements established by the AISC Seismic Provisions for …
