End plate moment-transmitting connection design is made automatically according to the Design, Calculation, and Construction Principles of Steel Structures (ÇYTHYEDY) (GKT and YDKT) and AISC 360-16 (ASD and LRFD) regulations.

Bolted End Plate Connections in ideCAD Structural Software

  • It consists of 3 different types.

  • The factors determining the behavior of the connections are beam cross-section reaching to yielding yield under bending, end plate reaching to yielding yield under bending, yielding of column panel zone, failure of bolts under tension, and rupture bolts under shear.

  • The controls listed above are applied automatically, and detailed explanations and references with parameters used in the computation are given in the report.

  • The YDKT method must be selected to report these connections used in the design of moment-resisting frame elements carrying earthquake loads together with TBDY 2018 and ÇYTHE 2018.

  • There are Some conditions that must be met in order to be used in 3 types of moment-resisting frames with high or limited ductility levellevels. These conditions are given in TBDY 2018 Table 9B.1 according to the ductility level. ideCAD Structural Steel automatically checks and reports these conditions.

  • Plastic In the end plate connection, plastic hinges cause inelastic bending deformations in the connected beam and column panel zone in the end plate connection. Therefore, strong connection, strong column and weak beam design are considered a basis. For this reason, the length of the plastic hinge and its distance from the column face is specifically checked from the table below:
