Problems of actual behaviour of end-plate connections

journal article - other

English

The paper deals with problems of an actual behaviour of header plate connections in steel building frames. A traditional model of the joint under examination represents a nominally pinned joint. Such a model is regarded by the authors as not quite accurate. That is why he examines the necessity of a general conception of idealization of strain mechanism of this joint type. In order to describe generally the joint behaviour in the loading process, he uses characteristics applied in the theory of semi-rigid connections, i.e. M–f relationship, where M is bending moment and f is rotation; besides that he defines another deformation component, so-called connection unfolding c, and analogically introduces M–c relationship.
