Abstract:

Moment-rotation curves for bolted framed steel connections are derived from force-deflection data obtained from laboratory tension and compression tests of angle segments. These derived curves for web framing angles are found to be consistent with published results of full-scale tests. The laboratory force-deflection test results are analytically described by a four parameter formula. These parameters are dependent upon the angle thickness, gage length of the legs in flexure and the connection plate thickness. A simple analytical connection model comprising a rigid bar and nonlinear springs which simulate the angle segments is then used to generate the moment-rotation curves for typical framing connections.
