Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study devoted to the analysis of steel extended end-plate connections by means of the Finite Element Method. Initially a review of previous research using several F.E. approaches with a solid type element allows us to know recent progress in this field. Next, a new methodology based on this technique is developed and the effect of several numerical choices on the final results are discussed. The theoretical results are compared with experimental observations for 15 and 18 mm thickness of end-plate. Finally, some results extracted from numerical analysis are outlined.
