Abstract
A semi-analytic method to model moment-rotation curves for unstiffened extended end plate connections is presented. Two physically based parameters; connection initial stiffness and connection moment capacity, and one experimentally based parameter are used in a three-parameter power model. Good correlation between the proposed model and experimental results is shown. The proposed method is then simplified, resulting in moment-rotation curve modeling suitable for design office environments.
