Abstract

In this paper, experimental tests have been carried out to investigate the behavior of extended end-plate moment connections. The experimental program has been executed in the heavy structures laboratory, Faculty of Engineering, Mansoura University, Egypt. In this program, ten end-plate moment connections have been tested to failure. The studied parameters in the experimental work are: (i) thickness of end plate, (ii) diameter of bolt, (iii) column stiffeners opposite the tested connections and (iv) grade of bolt.
