Non-linear analysis of a symmetric flush end plate bolted beam-to-column steel connection

Most connections that fasten beams to columns are deformable and exhibit a non-linear behaviour between conditions fully fixed and perfectly pinned. Connection flexibility affects both force distribution and deformation in beams and columns of the frame and must be accounted for in a structural anal...
