Simplified design of moment end-plate connections
Moment end-plate connections are widely used in the metal building industry and portal frame construction. This is due to the advantages of the field-bolted construction and excellent performance of moment end-plate connections. These connections have been studied extensively. Yield-line analysis …

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
… conducted 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 …

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 …

Design of moment end-plate connections for seismic loading
… into the seismic response of four-bolt extended moment end-plate connections was conducted. Full-scale connections, ranging in size from moderate to large, were designed, fabricated and tested under cyclic loading until connection failure was observed. The design procedures for minimum …

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 …

Performance of snug tight bolts in moment end-plate connections
… the 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 …

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 …

LRFD evaluation of full-scale metal building rigid frame tests
… and rafters, connected at the knees and ridge by moment end-plate connections. The purpose of this research was to investigate the accuracy of standard analysis methods when applied to metal building rigid frames. To achieve this goal, the results of two full-scale metal building rigid frame tests …

Response of Cyclically Loaded Extended End-Plate Moment Connections When Used With Welded Built-Up Sections
… was conducted to study the behavior of extended end-plate moment connections subjected to cyclic loading. Eleven specimens were tested, representing typical connection configurations used in the metal building manufacturing industry. Four of the beams were shallow (30 in. or less), and …
