Non-linear analysis of botlted flush endplate steel beam-to-column connections

In the typical steel building construction, steel connections are playing a crucial part in the construction to connect two different members into a desired length as specified by the architect. In modern building industry, it is a challenge for design engineers to provide simple steel connections t...
