Analysis of corrugated web beam to column extended end plate connection using LUSAS software

Bolted extended end plate connections are commonly used in rigid steel frame. Inappropriate or inadequate connections of beam and column are hazardous and can lead to collapses and fatalities. Although laboratory testing is more accurate in analyzing the connection, but unfortunately it is time cons...
