Abstract EN
Seismic design of steel structures is an essential part of the design process.
Egyptian loading code development process continues in a high rate to catch up with emerging new concepts and standards.
Steel design codes (ASD and LRFD) are not developing in the same speed, which prevents the full utilization and application of loading code.
The above reason leads to the need for evaluating flush end plate connections from prequalification point of view according to international standards.
Due to the lack of sufficient experimental data on flush end-plate connections, an experimental program was conducted to investigate this topic.
Six flush end-plate samples were designed according to the Egyptian code for steel construction (ECP205 ASD) using different beam and column sections, bolt diameters and grades.
A cyclic loading pattern defined by international standards was used in the testing process, and the performance was evaluated accordingly.
Evaluation of M–U curves showed that in some cases flush end plate connections satisfy the strict requirements for prequalification.
However, beam sections having limited depth fail to achieve prequalification criteria for the connections.
Reduced web may be used to enhance the connection status and is investigated in one of the samples to evaluate its impact on connection performance and the failure mode.
The proposed staggered hole configuration showed a promising performance.
