Experimental tests of T- stubs with four bolts
In the most common framed structures end-plate connections are utilized. In this joints are apply only two bolt rows in the tension zone with two bolts in each row. When the beam is made from H section, designers apply joints with four bolts in each row. Design rules given in Eurocode 3 relate only to bolted end-plate joints with two bolts in each bolt row. The present paper is concerned with experimental tests of welded T-stubs with four bolts. A comparison of test results with an analytical model for T-stub with four bolts is presented.
