1. End Plate Beam Splice Connection

1.1 General

The is based on the "basic component method". This method calculates

the connection final strength from the resistances of it's "basic
components".
The "basic components" are:
a) End plate in bending

The resistance and the failure mode of an end plate in bending together
with the associated bolts in tension is considered similar to those of an
equivalent T-stub for both:
each individual bolt-row required to resist tension
each group of bolt-rows required to resist tension
b) Beam flange and web in compression

The resistance of the beam flange and the adjacent compression zone of
the beam web is obtained by the formula:
Fc,fb,Rd = Mb,Rd / ( h - tFb )
( J 3.5.7)
c) Beams web in tension

In the case of bolted connection the resistance of the beam's web in

tension is obtained by the formula:
Ft,wb,Rd = beff,t,wb * twb * fy,wb / mo
( J 3.5.8)
Where the effective width beff,t,wb of the web is taken as equal to the
effective length of the equivalent T-stub representing the end plate in
bending.

1.2 Equivalent -stub

As said before the modeling of the equivalent T-stub is used in order to
calculate the resistance of some of the connection's "basic components".
The components of the connection are modeled as T-stubs and examined
individually or as bolt groups.

Three possible modes of failure are taken into account which are the
following:
a) Complete yielding of the flange

FT, Rd =

4 Mpl1, Rd
m

b) Bolt failure with yielding of the flange

FT, Rd =

c)

2 Mpl2, Rd + n Bt, Rd
m+n

Bolt failure

FT, Rd = Bt, Rd

1.3 Welds
In addition to the checks of the "basic components", the check of the
resistance of the welds between the beam and the end plate is being
performed, using the following formulas (EC3 Annex M):

 2 + 3 ( 2 + // 2 ) fu /( w Mw )
fu / Mw
where :
- = N sd /Aw + y,sd / wy + Mz,sd / wz
= Vz,sd / A w

// = Vy,sd / A w

1.4 Moment resistance

The final moment resistance of the connection is obtained from the
formula:
M j, Rd = hr Ftr, Rd
r
where :
Ftr,Rd id the effective tension resistance of bolt row r
h r is the distance of the bolt row r from the center of the
compression

1.5 Shear resistance

Concerning the resistance of the connection in shear the following
checks are performed:
a)
resistance of the bolts in shear
b)
resistance of the blades in bearing
c)
resistance in slipping (prestressed bolts)
The strength of a bolt in shear is being calculated by using the following
EC3 formulas :
0,6 fnb fs
fv, Rd =
mb
, for 4.6 / 5.6 / 8.8 bolt qualities
0,5 fnb fs
fv, Rd =
mb
, for 4.8 / 5.8 / 10.9 bolt qualities
0,6 fnb f
fv, Rd =
mb
, for all the bolt qualities when the shear plane passes
through the unthreaded portion of the bolt
The strength of the end plate in bearing is being calculated by using the
formula :
2,5 fnb t
fb, Rd =
mb
The contribution of one bolt to the strength of the connection in slipping
is being calculated by using the following EC3 formula :
k s n fp, Cd
fs, Rd =
ms
The strength in shear of the bolts that are simultaneously tensioned and
sheared is being reduced as follows:

Fv, Sd
Ft, Sd
+
1.0, for not prestressed bolts
Fv, Rd 1.4 Ft, Rd
k n (FP,Cd 0.8 * Ft,Sd,ser )
fs, Rd, ser = s
, for prestressed bolts (category B)
M, ser
k n (FP,Cd 0.8 * Ft,Sd )
fs, Rd = s
, for prestressed bolts (category C)
M, ult
The resistance in shear for each bolt row is the minimum result of the
above checks and the final resistance of the connection in shear is found
by adding the resistances of all the bolt rows of the connection.

1.6 Rotational stiffness

The procedure of the solution is described in the Annex J of EC3 in the
paragraph J.4. The rotational stiffness of the joint is determined by the
flexibility of the "basic components" through the elastic stiffness
coefficient ki as shows the next EC3 formula :
Sj =

where:

E z2
1

i ki

(J.34)

kj is the stiffness coefficient of the "basic component" i

z is the lever arm
is the fraction of the stiffness Sj,ini/Sj
Sj,ini is the initial rotation stiffness given by the same expression
(J.34) with =1.0
When elastic global analysis is used the joints should be classified
according to their stiffness.
In the case of a semi-rigid joint its rotational stiffness should be taken as
equal to the value of Sj.
As a simplification the rotational stiffness may be taken equal to:

SJ,ini when MJ,Sd does not exceed 2/3 MJ,Rd

SJ,ini/n when MJ,Sd exceeds 2/3 MJ,Rd

Simplified bi-linear design moment-rotation characteristic

Steel connections program calculates both values of SJ and SJ,ini.

These joints are classified as rigid, nominally pined or semi-rigid

according to its stiffness through the comparison of their rotational
stiffness SJ,ini and the boundaries given by EC3 Annex J, which are:
Braced frames
Zone 1: rigid, if SJ,ini 8EI/Lb
Zone 2: semi-rigid
Zone 3: nom.pinned , if SJ,ini 0.5EI/Lb
0.5EI/Lb

Unbraced frames
Zone 1: rigid, if SJ,ini 25EI/Lb
Zone 2: semi-rigid
Zone 3: nom.pinned, if SJ,ini
