Extended stiffened end-plate connections are widely used in seismic area due to their good performance in terms of both resistance and ductility. The most of existing studies focused on the all-steel behavior of these joints, disregarding the composite action of the concrete slab that is generally disconnected. However, the presence of the concrete slab can have beneficial effects on the structural stiffness for both gravity and lateral loads. Hence, most of the building frames are usually designed considering steel-concrete composite solution. However, the slab can strongly influence the hierarchy between beam and column and the ductility of the joint. In this paper the influence of composite deck on the response of extended stiffened end-plate joins has been investigated by means of finite element analyses (FEAs). In particular, the following details have been investigated: (i) all steel joints without slab; (ii) steel joint with disconnected slab; (iii) composite joint.

This paper studies structural behaviour of the blind bolted connections to concrete-filled steel tubular columns by a serial of experimental programs, which conducted involving eight sub-assemblages of cruciform beam-to-column joints subjected to monotonic loading and cyclic loading. The moment-rotation hysteretic relationships and failure models of the end plate connections have been measured and analyzed. A simplified analysis model for the blind bolted connections is proposed based on the component method. It is concluded that the blind bolted end plate connection has reasonable strength and stiffness, whilst the rotation capacity of the connection satisfies the ductility requirements for earthquake-resistance in most aseismic regions. This typed joint has excellent seismic performance, so it can be used in the moment-resisting composite frame.

AbstractThis article deals with the problem of determining the resistance of end-plate connections. A nonlinear FEM model of the joint was constructed in order to predict its carrying capacity. A standard code procedure was done as well. The analyses have been done to assess atypical end-plate joints designed and constructed as a part of roof structures.
