Steel portal frames were traditionally designed assuming that beam-to-column joints are
ideally pinned or fully rigid. This simplifies the analysis and structural design processes, but …

An equivalent T-stub model is an essential tool for the prediction of the behaviour of steel
bolted connections. It is usually employed to represent the tension-loaded components of …

The recently performed experimental study indicates that the current Japanese steel design
standards (AIJ) cannot be used to predict accurately the ultimate behavior of bolted …

This paper describes the development of a finite element numerical model with the ability to
simulate and analyse the mechanical behaviour of different types of beam–column end …

The aim of this study is to present a detailed nonlinear finite element study to reproduce the
experimental response of new mechanical beam-column joints of precast concrete based …

This paper presents and discusses results of parametric analyses on the behavior of bolted
extended end plate connections using Finite Element (FE) modeling tools. The analyses …

This study presents an approach for refined parametric three-dimensional (3D) analysis of
partially-restrained (PR) bolted steel beam-column connections. The models include the …

The rotational behaviour of steel end-plate connections can be studied using the finite
element method for the following three reasons: 1) such models are inexpensive and robust; …

The three-dimensional (3D) elasto-plastic finite element method is used to study the
structural behavior of the butt-type steel bolted joint. The numerical results are compared …

The behavior of fully restrained steel connections subjected to blast loads was examined
using finite element analysis. Two connections that were tested as part of the AISC …
