Design of extended end-plate connections for hollow section columns Journal Articles

abstract

• Extended end-plate connections have been widely used in moment-resisting steel frames with W-shape columns, due to their sufficient stiffness and moment capacity. In addition, such connections are easy to install and permit good quality control. Extended end-plate connections can also be employed in moment-resisting frames with hollow structural section columns by using high strength blind bolts. These bolts have been developed for installation from one side only where the rear side of the connection is inaccessible. In this study, a quantitative procedure for detailing and designing beam extended end-plate connections for rectangular hollow structural section columns using high strength blind bolts is proposed. The design procedure is consistent with the design philosophy given in limit-state codes. The proposed design is based on the results obtained from an experimental program and an analytical study. Key words: design, end plate, connection, hollow section, blind bolts, steel, frame.
