Abstract
A finite element model of the unstiffened extended end plate connection is reported in the paper. Comparison between the three-dimensional, non-linear finite element analysis and full scale experimental results of the column-beam connection is presented which firmly establishes the accuracy of the model developed. Using the above model a parametric study of the connection is proposed which will enable appropriate design curves to be produced for a rapid design of this extremely popular connection.
