A series of retrofitted extended end-plate connections have been tested experimentally and evaluated using the component method specified in Eurocode 3. The component method decomposed the end-plate connection into several components, including the tension zone, compression zone, vertical and horizontal shear zone that occurred at the bolt, end-plate, beam and column. Based on the theoretical model, the moment resistance and the initial stiffness of a connection can be predicted. Four experimental tests on the retrofitted extended end-plate connections have been conducted to verify the proposed design method. From the experiment tests, all moment resistance of the connections showed good agreement with theoretical predictions, which establish a reliable foundation to predict the moment resistance of the retrofitted end-plate connection. All initial stiffnesses calculated from theoretical predictions do not represent the actual behaviour of tested connection. All tested connections can be classified as partial strength based on EC 3: Part 1.8, in condition the welding capacity is at least 50% higher than the capacity calculated from the component method.

During the European research project entitled EQUALJOINTS (European pre-Qualified steel JOINTS) [1], which recently concluded, the matter of providing a set of pre-qualification procedures for moment resisting beam-to-column connections which are currently used in Europe has been addressed. During the experimental campaign 24 specimens with bolted extended end-plate connections with haunches were tested. The current paper presents the numerical model which has been developed such that numerical testing may be performed to further investigate specific details. In what concerns the material, an isotropic material model has been calibrated and used based on tensile tests of coupons extracted from the specimens to model the actual plastic behaviour. Moreover, the imperfections of the beam have been taken into account using a bucking analysis to model as accurate as possible the specimens tested. The interaction between parts has been modelled using contacts with different interaction laws. The model used for the bolt has been calibrated such that the preloading and failure replicate the behaviour of the actual bolts used in the experiments.

Plate Connection

Steel construction allows fast and economical method of construction which also fulfills the requirement of clients. Especially low-rise building such as industrial building is the most common in steel frame. There are few common types of connection that are commonly being used in the industry such as flush end plate connection and extended end plate connection. This research is conducted to evaluate the performance of end plate connection as the common steel connection in low-rise buildings. Software ConSteel is used to evaluate the performance of identified connections by analysis. At the end of the research, an optimize design of end plate connection maybe recommended based on the performance and serve as a basic of improvement and guidance of safety.

In the present paper, we investigate the effect of a padding-plate on the behavior of extended end-plate semi-rigid connections. The numerical simulations were carried out for a standard extended end-plate connection joint without padding-plate and two connection joints with 4mm and 6mm thick padding-plates. The existing experimental results verified the validity of the numerical model. The numerical results have shown that a thin padding-plate will more or less decline the carrying load capacity of the connection joint but greatly improve the connect ductility. Filling a thin padding-plate in the end-plate connection is feasible and brings the forewarning function.
