Past three decades have seen the rapid development of high strength steel (HSS) in its application in structural engineering. However, so far the mechanical performance of a HSS beam-to-column connection has not been systematically studied, especially for bolted end-plate connections, the commonly employed beam-to-column connections in steel structures, which could restrict the application of HSS. Therefore, this paper aims to represent the basic methods, current achievements, recent applications, and the existing problems that lie in the way. In doing so, this paper is composed of three parts, experimental results, numerical analysis as well as component method. At the end, this paper indicates that future investigation should be based upon experimental analysis and proper finite element modeling, to verify a numerical model and to refine design standards.

The design of end-plate connections for steel structures is more loosely specified in Chilean regulations than in American regulations. Nevertheless, eight-bolt extended stiffened (8ES) end-plate connections have not derived benefit from extensive past research, and therefore, their normative recommendations are quite constraining. In this study, both the prequalification and qualification limits are evaluated, and the linear and nonlinear analyses of a connection from a case study focused on a typical industrial structure, characterized by its reduced dimensions, are carried out. For the design of the connection, a spreadsheet was developed based on AISC 358. The nonlinear analysis was modeled using the finite element method, and it is confirmed that the normative recommendations restrict the design in a very conservative way, resulting in oversizing. Finally, a new optimized connection configuration is proposed and analyzed without stiffeners.

Introduction. One of the greatest accents in the steel structures researches is the optimization of the design model. It is possible to reduce the cost of steel structures, optimize moment distribution and dynamic characteristics of the frame using the finite secant stiffness, which can be obtained by the described in the paper numerical modeling method. There are a lot of perspectives for the engineer in the field of numerical modeling. Most of them are possible to implement in the design procedure nowadays, but it is important to develop methods and standards for numerical modeling, in order to obtain convenient tools and reliable results. In order to study this issue in more depth, the “moment - turn” curve was studied, maximum stress values were determined, and rigidity and strength characteristics were prepared for each type of joint for structural analysis. Materials and methods. In the program Ansys was modelling three types of steel joints: end-plate connections, double web-angle connections and top and seat angle connections. Results. For three types of joints was obtained ultimate moment, location of destruction and moment-rotation curve. For extended end-plate connections was comparison of the obtained curve with experimental data. Conclusions. Three types of steel joints were modeled in the paper. The numerical modeling results show good correlation with the experimental ones. The data about the behavior of the joints were extracted and analyzed. As result, “moment-angle of rotation” curves were obtained. Finite secant stiffness of the joints for considering steel structures was obtained in the analysis. The resulting finite secant stiffness can be used in the steel frames design procedure.

Extended stiffened end-plate connections are widely used in seismic area due to their good performance in terms of both resistance and ductility. The most of existing studies focused on the all-steel behavior of these joints, disregarding the composite action of the concrete slab that is generally disconnected. However, the presence of the concrete slab can have beneficial effects on the structural stiffness for both gravity and lateral loads. Hence, most of the building frames are usually designed considering steel-concrete composite solution. However, the slab can strongly influence the hierarchy between beam and column and the ductility of the joint. In this paper the influence of composite deck on the response of extended stiffened end-plate joins has been investigated by means of finite element analyses (FEAs). In particular, the following details have been investigated: (i) all steel joints without slab; (ii) steel joint with disconnected slab; (iii) composite joint.
