Performance of extended end-plate bolted connections subjected to static and blast-like loads

Abstract In this study, numerical models were developed to predict the behavior of steel extended end-plate moment connections subjected to static and blast-like loading. Two types of extended end-plate connections were considered, stiffened, and unstiffened, with pretensioned bolts. The models were...
