Due to lack of access inside the hollow section column, it has been difficult to develop a
practical bolted moment connection between a W-shape beam and a hollow steel column …

Connecting a W-shape beam to a hollow steel section (HSS) column using conventional
bolts is difficult due to a lack of access inside the hollow section column to tighten the nut …

The objective of this study is to investigate the behaviour of extended end-plate and T-stub
bolted moment connections for square hollow section (SHS) column. The SHS column near …

This paper describes experimental study on extended end-plate bolted moment connections
for square hollow section (SHS) column. The connection system presented here was …

This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical study into a new bolted
moment connection between unfilled hollow section columns and open section beams …

This paper presents the results of an experimental programme for a new blind bolted
connection to unfilled hollow section (HS) columns under static loading. In this connection …

The use of hollow section columns in steel construction is presently hindered by the lack of
adequate connection technologies. Due to access constraints, standard bolting techniques …

Extended end-plate connections have been widely used in moment-resisting steel frames
with W-shape columns, due to their sufficient stiffness and moment capacity. In addition …

Typical extended end-plate connections used in moment resisting steel frames with Hollow
Structural Section (HSS) columns will generally exhibit a certain degree cf flexibility. The …

The behaviour of moment-resisting steel frames under various types of loads is dependent
on the type of beam-to-column connections and their flexibilities. The extended end-plate …
