Finite Element Analysis of Structural Steelwork Beam to Column Bolted Connections Jim Butterworth Constructional Research Unit, School of Science Technology, University of Teesside, UK. Abstract A combination of simple fabrication techniques and speedy site erection have made bolted endplates one of the most popular methods of connecting members in structural steelwork frames. Although simple in their use bolted endplates are extremely complex in their analysis and behaviour. In 1995 the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) and the British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA) jointly published a design guide for moment resisting connections [1]. The Green Book design method offers increased connection capacity using a combination of theoretical overstress in the beam compression zone and plastic bolt force distribution. This paper reports on a PhD research program at the University of Teesside which uses a combination of full scale testing and materially non-linear three dimensional finite element analyses (FEA) in order to investigate extended end plate beam-to-column connections. The FEA analyses, incorporating MYSTRO and LUSAS software [2], use enhanced strain solid and contact gap elements to model the connection behaviour. Introduction An extended end plate connection consists of a plate welded in the fabrication shop to the end of the steel beam as shown in Figure 1. The end plate is pre-drilled and then bolted at site through corresponding holes in the column flange. The plate extends above the tension flange in order to increase the lever arm of the bolt group and subsequently the load carrying capacity. The connection is usually loaded by a combination of vertical shear force, axial 1 CS502 - Issue 1 force in the beam member and a moment as shown in the diagram of an elevation on a beam-to-column j
