Abstract

In this paper, mathematical models available for eight commonly used beam-to-column connections like single-web angle, double-web angle, top and seat angle with and without web angles, extended end-plate, flushed end-plate, and header plate connections are studied from literature. Connection analysis program is developed to obtain moment–rotation response of each type of connection using empirical data available models in the literature. Bjorhovde’s classification system is used for the classification of the connections. Each type of connection as listed are analyzed; moment–rotation response of each connection is obtained using available models in literature; and results are compared.
