Steel Connection - End Plate, Extended
Steel Connection - End Plate, Extended
An extended end plate steel connection is a type of moment connection that uses a steel plate welded to the end of a beam section to transfer forces between the beam and an adjacent member. The end plate extends beyond the beam flanges, allowing for the use of bolts other than between the flanges. Haunched steel angles are typically added for increased strength. Extended end plate connections are typically used in frames subject to heavy lateral loadings or near inflection points of gable frames. They are also used for beam-to-column moment connections.
Extended End Plate Steel Connections are available in a range of sizes with plate widths between 6.1”-13” (15.4-33 cm), depths of 4.1”-12.2” (10.3-31 cm), and an overall height of 9.7”-26.1” (24.6-66.4 cm). Plate thicknesses are commonly between .35”-.87” (9-22 mm).
