TI  - Experimental Study on the Behavior of Header End -
Plate Connections under Cyclic Loading
AB  - This paper presents the results from an experimental study on the actual behavior of header
end-plate connections. To better understand the hysteretic behavior of these connections in
terms of the stiffness and the strength, sixteen specimens were considered and subjected to
cyclic loads. The effect of some parameters such as thickness of the header end-plate, depth
of the connection and the number of bolt rows on the behavior of header end-plate
connections has been investigated by the help of experimental tests and finite element (FE)
analyses. The moment-rotation relations of the connections governed by three parameters
such as initial stiffness, moment capacity and rotation capacity were obtained. Results
revealed that the moment capacity increases with the increase in end-plate thickness and
depth of connection. However, for the equal connection depth, increasing the number of bolt
rows has not influenced the connection behavior in any noticeable way.
