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.

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.
