Comparison of component method with experimental tests for flush end-plate connections using hot-rolled Perwaja Steel Sections

A component method has been introduced by Steel Construction Institute to predict the moment resistance of partial strength connection. The design philosophy is taken directly from Eurocode 3 with strength checks on bolts, welds, and steel which have been modified to comply with BS 5950-1:2000. The...
